Latest revision as of 18:15, 30 June 2024

The 1990–91 Kent Football League season (known as the Winstonlead Kent League for sponsorship reasons) was the twenty-fifth in the history of the Kent Football League, a football competition featuring teams based in and around the county of Kent in England.

The League structure comprised two divisions: Division One and Division Two with the latter known as the Reserves Section (reserves teams were not permitted in Division One). Additionally there were two league cup competitions: the Challenge Cup for the Division One clubs and another for the teams in Division Two.

Division One

The league was won by Sittingbourne,[2] the only Kent League winning club (as of 2024) to be unbeaten over the season; it was their third Kent League title and they were subsequently promoted to the Southern Football League.

At the end of the season both bottom clubs, Metropolitan Police (Hayes) and Sheppey United, were re-elected to continue their membership of the division.[3]
