Season Summary
The season started disastrously, when a combination of an inexperienced (and thin) squad and some narrow defeats meant new first team manager Willie O'Sullivan's boys gained only 1 point from the first 7 games. Who could have foreseen that, with the addition of a few experienced heads and an excellent attitude from the youngsters we would go on to lose only 8 more of 34 league & cup games and finish a creditable 6th place. We also won through to the finals of both the London Intermediate Cup, beating Erith Town 2-1 aet and the Kent Intermediate Challenge Shield, where we lost to Phoenix Sports by the only goal of the game.

Our reserves finished in a respectable mid-table position in the South London Alliance, whilst our youth teams found it tough going in the Kent Youth League. Off the field, the commitee is looking at ways of bringing the dream of Senior football to fruition and beginning development of our facilities.
