Kent County League
The Kent County League, currently known as the Vandanel Kent County League for sponsorship reasons, is a football competition based in Kent, England. The league has five senior divisions - a Premier Division, Division One East and West and Division Two East and West, plus reserve divisions. It sits below the Kent League (step 5 of the National League System), but its Premier Division is classified as a Step 7 league despite the lack of an intermediate league.
In the 2009–10 season, there are 16 clubs in the Premier Division. The bottom two clubs face relegation to the regional lower divisions. Clubs from a number of smaller district leagues may be eligible to gain promotion to the County League. In 2008 clubs from the Bromley & District, Canterbury & District, Maidstone & District and Rochester & District Leagues and the South London Alliance joined the County League.[1]
