Past Flags Winners

[davewilliams]

After a lot of research I believe this is the full list of Senior Flag finals, and Spencer's second win combined with Kenton's seven wins makes them the sixth most successful club in Senior Flags:..
If you have any information to the contrary please let me know.

Snaresbrook and Woodford merged to become Buckhurst Hill, so by your method of calculation, we have 10.


I like mmm....beer's Deep Question. What happened to Kenton?

[S_24_LAX]

Kenton merged with Beckenham top form Spencer

[Jim13]

Yeah, saw that, but how come? Logistics? Player numbers? To reduce costs?

Most clubs seem to be splitting to encourage more players, rather than merging - especially when both seemed pretty strong.

[Chilli]

Peter Compton would be the best person to answer this but I don't think he uses the forum.

The merger happened in 2000 which was pretty much the lowest point in SEMLA in terms of numbers of clubs, 18 teams http://www.southlacrosse.org.uk/history ... -2000.html
compared to the 51 teams active now in SEMLA (after Penarth and RAF Marham are excluded) plus all the new Universities which only play in BUCS

All the growth has really happened since 2000

As I recall hearing the story, each club had their own reasons, player numbers, age of players, access to playing facilities etc and merged, however, only a couple of the Kenton players carried on with the new club, the rest 'retired'

[Jim13]

Thanking you, I was just just curious.

I remember them as a strong team when I was down there but hadn't noticed they weren't around until I saw this thread and the mention of the merge into what is now Spencer.

So many new clubs down there it's easy to lose track.

Summed up by Mr Bueller...

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
