Thanks to all in playing their part in this historical

Critical and amusing  moments of the season.

The Sittingbourne match where each team travelled
to each other's venue on 3rd February 2011.
Match was later postponed to 15 March 2011.

Tyrone (C) travelling to Snodland by bus after 6.00pm.
reorganizing the team on his mobile for the home match
against Sittingbourne that evening due to train delays
preventing Matt from reaching Snodland in time.
Tyrone managed to get Pete H to play at last minute.
Good job it was a home match and Pete lives so close.
The team then went on to punish Sittingbourne.

David F's dramatic draw against Maidstone to clinch
a very close match.

The away match against Hastings was sweet revenge
due to the losses incurred against Hastings in the Lewis Cup
paving the way for a semi-final match.

The semi-final away match against Lewisham was by far
the best performance of the season up to the final.  The
team beating the previously unbeaten Lewisham club 5-1
to  book their place in the Dartford Finals.
