In the past 12 months the junior section has won titles in the Ashford and District League at U14 (girls) U16 (boys) and U18 (boys). In the East Kent Section of the National Junior Club League the juniors also won at U14 and U16 girls level.
It wasn't all about the youngsters though with the Club winning their division in the Kent Winter Mixed League and both the Mixed and Men's Kent League through the summer.
More locally, the Men's team won their division of the Ashford and District League and the Mixed team were runners-up. The ladies mid week team also scooped the Maidstone / Ashford mid week friendly league.
