May 21, 2025 Kent Non-League Podcast - Episode 338
It's over! The 2024-25 season is done and dusted - but before it truly ends, our 41st and final episode of a campaign to remember is here for you to enjoy. It was a heartbreaking end to the season for Maidstone - our roving reporters Nick and Cian talk us through their experience of the play-off final defeat, before we hear from Jordan Higgs and Temi Eweka following the loss which consigns them to another season in the National League South. League allocations have been confirmed and there was a surprise name in the shape of AFC Greenwich Borough - and one of the men behind the new arrivals, Gary Fiore, tells us all about it. And we hear from the team who arguably had the best season of anyone in the county - record-breaking Ramsgate steamrolllered their way to the Isthmian South East title and boss Ben Smith reflects on their achievements and looks ahead to next year.

Thank you all for listening to us this season, have a great summer and we'll see you all in 2025-26.

Faversham takes centre stage in this week's show as we hear from the town's two clubs after an eventful week. Faversham Town did what they needed to and won at Tunbridge Wells to win the Southern Counties East League - boss Tommy Warrilow reflects on victory at the Culverden, winning promotion and his aim to finish the season strongly. Town's tenants Faversham Strike Force have confirmed this week that they are moving to Whitstable from next season - club founder and sporting director Gary Axford discusses the move, why it's right for his club at the moment and the SCEFL Division One title race, which his side are right in the mix of. We've got all the rest of the news from across the county, including another managerial exit and teeing up a massive weekend of Easter football. And there's all the usual chat and nonsense, including 1990s cricket, Gladiators, train travel and loads more besides.

A bumper show for you as we look back on a Non-League Day of highs and lows - and preview a huge FA Vase semi-final first leg on Saturday. Three cracking interviews for you to enjoy, starting with Ebbsfleet United CEO Damian Irvine after the club's relegation was confirmed - he discusses the gap between the National League South and the National League and reflects on mistakes the club have made - but is positive that under Josh Wright things will be better next season. Whitstable stand one tie from Wembley and boss Jamie Coyle is in confident mood ahead of the sold-out visit of Hartpury University on Saturday in the first leg of their last-four clash, with his side unbeaten in 16 games and the arch in sight... There's been a change in the dugout at Cray Wanderers after Neil Smith moved on to become assistant manager at Crawley - and his number two Tim O'Shea has stepped up in his place - Tim tells us about how it all came about, his hopes for the future and enjoying life at Wanderers. There's a new boss coming at Sheppey United, and a change at Lordswood too and we discuss that and all the rest of the news from across the county.

A sad week in Kent non-league with the passing of Sheppey United manager Ernie Batten - his assistant manager and lifelong friend Geoff Record joins us to pay tribute to the man who was instrumental in bringing football back to the Isle of Sheppey, led the Ites to the FA Cup first round and so much more - Geoff tells us about Ernie the man, Ernie the player and his impact on the Island. On the field, there was a crucial win for Snodland Town at the foot of the SCEFL and manager Luke Jessup reflects on a great week for the club, the warm welcome he has received and hails his young backline after their first clean sheet of the season. On the flip side, it was a tough afternoon for Lordswood joint-boss Ross Wiles after his side came up short, and he admits they need to be better at both ends of the pitch after a result which leaves them deep in relegation trouble. Chatham Town continued their good form with victory at Dover and boss Kevin Hake discusses the battle for the play-off places and the importance of finishing the season strongly even if they don't make it. There's all the rest of the news from across the county after a busy week, with a rare win for Ebbsfleet United and a change in the dugout at Welling United, plus a potentially crucial points deduction at the top of the SCEFL. And we've still got the usual chat and nonsense too, including car washes, five years on since lockdown and the end of the 5.30am disco mystery...
