Woodchurch first team , winners of the Premier Division title last season on the final day of League fixtures on goal difference only from runners-up Sellindge will be looking to hold on to the trophy but will face stiff competition from Paul Milloy’s runaway Division One Champions and treble winners Smeeth & Brabourne whilst Len Valley will have ambitions to improve on last season’s third place in the League and success in the Cup Competitions as winners of the Premier division Cup and semi-finalists in the Kent Junior Cup – The first team from the League to do so in living memory.
