Dates set for county finals

The Kent FA have announced dates for the finals of their 2019/20 competitions. Due to the pandemic all county cup fixtures for the 2020/21 season were cancelled but there are still honours to be played for from the previous campaign. Some issues are still to be finalised, such as the date for the final of the Kent Senior Cup, where Dartford will play either Gillingham of Whitstable Town.

A semi-final date needs to be agreed between the Gills and Whitstable. The final will be played at the Gallagher Stadium, Maidstone.

In the Senior Trophy Corinthian are due to meet Sheppey United but a potential league restructure makes a date for that final up in the air. It will be played at some point this pre-season. Others matches to look forwards to include the Women’s Cup match between Aylesford and Dartford.
