  • Congratulation to the Under 13s Whites - winners of the Junior League Cup Final - winning 6-1 in the final
  • CHAMPIONS! Congratulations to the Under 13s Reds for winning the WHL Division 2 title.  Also congratualtions to JACK MEADS who has now scored 50 League and Cup goals for the season. 
  • Hard luck to the Under 14s Whites - runners up in the Junior League Cup after a heroic effort against Garston in the final.
  • The U14s Reds were unlucky to come across an exceptional team in the southern semi final of the Lions 5 Nations tournament. The Corinthians team are currently the best team in Kent and have several county and junior academy boys. The Raiders lads did really well to hold them till half time but ran out of steam in the second half.
