Formation
editNegotiations to form a new Step 6 (level 10 in the overall English football league system) division began in 2009 to make promotion and relegation between the Kent League (Step 5, now Southern Counties East Football League) and Kent County League (Step 7) easier, as there had not been a relegation to the Kent County League for a number of seasons and promotions had been infrequent.
At the end of the 2015–16 season, the league merged with the Southern Counties East League and became the lower division of the merged league.[2]
Challenge Trophy
editThe league also organised a knockout competition, the Challenge Trophy.
