SEVENOAKS TOWN – THEIR SEASON SO FAR:

Sevenoaks are currently in 11th place on 33 points from 24 games. They started 2024/25 with two wins, one against Whitstable Town in the FA Cup extra preliminary round and beat Burgess Hill 3-1 on opening day of the league season. However, their FA Cup run came to an end in the preliminary round as they lost to Leatherhead. Sevenoaks found themselves winless in their next three league games, losing to Sheppey United, drawing 2-2 with East Grinstead and suffering a heavy 0-5 defeat at home to Beckenham Town.

The Oaks then won two games back-to-back 3-0 against Phoenix Sports in the Velocity Cup first round and Harrow Borough in the FA Trophy first qualifying round. They lost again against Beckenham, 4-3 away from home, but won against Hythe straight after. A penalty shootout win against Ramsgate in the Velocity Cup second round followed. It was again Leatherhead who knocked Sevenoaks out of a cup competition, this time the FA Trophy. Also in the Kent Senior Cup, a third loss of the season against Beckenham knocked them out.

Through October they played six league games, winning twice, drawing twice and losing twice whilst also being knocked out of the Velocity Cup by Cray Valley in the third round. From November to January so far, the form has been mediocre for Sevenoaks, as they won five times, drew three times and lost four times, cementing them in a midtable place so far.
