London Senior Cup

[Skip]

I can't ever remember Dartford enter the London Senior Cup before. I don't think that we have moved affiliations and would be very surprised if we have. It is possible to affiliated with more than county FA. A number of clubs, such as Welling, Charlton, Phoenix & Beckenham, regularly take part in London & Kent FA competitions. A lot of clubs that enter the London Senior Cup will also be affiliated to other county Fa's such as Essex, Surrey and Hertfordshire.

As the Kent Senior Cup has been cancelled for the 20/21 season I assume the club took the decision to enter the London competition. We have, of course, still got the 19/20 Kent Senior Cup final to play at some point once Whitstable and Gillingham eventually play their semi final.

Good point, I’d forgotten that the Kent Senior Cup had been cancelled this season.

On the other hand we are arranging more friendlies so presumably think some players need more game time

Madness in my opinion.
It's not a good look for the club if we get a couple of players injured in a tin pot club competition or in a friendly against a club our academy team could possibly beat

Personally I think it's a great idea. We have a large squad and need to keep players involved. If Kingy didn't think it was in our best interests then we wouldn't be in it. I think we should trust him to make the right call.

Plus we might even get to go to an away game if we're lucky.

With our squad size and some excellent academy prospects this isn’t an issue. I’m sure no one is wrapped in cotton wool when they train so injuries can be picked up at anytime. Don’t see the problem as the league and FA trophy will be prioritised. And don’t forget we are already out of the FA cup.

We will see. Anyway now I'm off to get some Fish & Chips and i think i need to chill

Come back when you've cheered up a bit.

Been reliably informed that we have been invited to the LSC due to the LSC being cancelled.

Do you mean the KSC has been cancelled and we have been invited to the LSC.

[Gary C]

Yes, sorry.

[Sleightly Deceptive]

I think any County senior cup is a good idea. Not so much as a spectator spectacle but for giving promising players and recovering ones a run out. And the Final is a good day or evening out even if it’s a tin pot. The King will sort it out.

I've not seen anything mentioned elsewhere, and i'd be very surprised if it's true, but according to the London FA website Dartford are playing Dulwich Hamlet at home in the London Senior Cup tonight, ko 7.45. It also lists the match officials.
