London Senior Cup Draw. Can't remember us ever being in the LSC before.


Round 1
Dartford v Dulwich Hamlet.

Round 2.
Phoenix Sports or Haringey Borough v Dartford or Dulwich Hamlet


Fixture dates to be arranged

Have we moved affiliations then? Kent FA to London FA?

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.

A nothing competition and the risk of players picking up injuries
Surely all our efforts this season should be looking after our players and getting out this league, not a tin pot cup competition.

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

We will see if we get a couple of key players injured.

You're not very "Happy" today HC.
Some of the players will need game time and if SK thinks it's the right thing to do that's fine by me.

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.
