Sissinghurst FC<br />
THE SISSINGHURST Junior Football Club<br />
started in the early 2000s when a group of<br />
local Dads got together to provide football<br />
for their sons. Various age group teams<br />
were formed during the next few years<br />
with several teams winning their leagues<br />
and the occasional cup competition.<br />
The club folded in 2011 when the last<br />
of the age groups had reached the end<br />
of the league structure at under 18 and<br />
there were no others to follow. There<br />
was the odd Veterans match until the<br />
junior club was resurrected in 2015 with<br />
an U14 team. This has satisfied a group<br />
of boys, including my son, who attended<br />
Cranbrook School where football is not on<br />
the sports curriculum.<br />
The team entered the Maidstone and<br />
District league and finished in mid-table.<br />
For 2016/17 the U15 team joined the<br />
Crowborough & District Junior Football<br />
League with another team being formed<br />
by Will Aitken at U16 level in the same<br />
league.<br />
The U15s had a tough season finishing<br />
just above the relegation zone but the<br />
newly formed U16s took their league title<br />
winning all but one match, which was a<br />
draw.<br />
For the 2017/18 season we are back to<br />
one team with last year’s U16s playing<br />
in the U18B division. They are finding it<br />
tough being a year under age but it will<br />
stand them in good stead for next year and<br />
another season in the U18 league when<br />
most will be able to drive themselves to<br />
and from the games.<br />
Home matches are played on the King<br />
George V field and we are grateful to<br />
Graham White of the cricket club for<br />
mowing.<br />
We are also very grateful to all our<br />
sponsors for their support during the past<br />
club news<br />
two seasons. We are keen to talk to any<br />
local company which may wish to sponsor<br />
us.<br />
A big thank you to the King George V<br />
playing field trust which made a donation<br />
toward our purchase of new transportable<br />
goals for this season.<br />
We would like to hear from anyone who<br />
is interested in keeping the club going<br />
with NEW teams and age groups.<br />
