History of Kentish Town Football Club

The club was founded in 1994 by two parents concerned with the lack of opportunity to play competitive football in the local area for young players. In 1995 the club played its first competitive match in the Camden & Islington Youth Midweek League.

By 1998 the club had added two more teams and entered the Enfield & District Youth League.

In 1999 the club was joined by teams from the disbanded Ferdinand FC bringing the total amount of teams playing in the Camden & Islington Midweek League to eight and three teams in the Enfield & District Youth League.

In season 2001/01 in the Enfield & District Youth League the under 12s won the Championship, Presidents Cup and Fair Play Trophy and came runners up in the mini-cup final. The under 16s won two finals and finished runners up in their division.

In 2002/03 in the Camden & Islington Midweek League the U16s won the league title and the league cup and the U13’s won the league cup and finished runners up in the league. The club has always had a strong youth set up and moved to the Harrow Youth League after the demise of the Enfield League.

In 2003/04 the club took the step from youth football into senior football joining the Spartan South Midlands League and were placed in Division Two playing their home games at King George IV playing fields in Barnet and finished a respectable 10th position.

In 2004/05 the club moved to a ground share with Haringey Borough at Coles Park and after the AGM of the SSML were voted into the First Division to strengthen it along with Canfield United and Amersham Town. The team finished in ninth position and reached the last eight of the Division One Cup. For season 2005/06 the club were forced to move again and we were invited to share with newly promoted Potters Bar Town Football Club at their Park field home. The clubs U14’s competing in the Harrow Youth League won the league.
