History

Bearsted Football Club was formed in 1895, and later became members of the Maidstone & District League.[1] They won Division Six in 1961–62, before starting a successful spell in the mid-1970s that saw them win Division Three in 1973–74, Division Two the following season and Division One in 1977–78, before claiming consecutive Premier Division titles in 1979–80, 1980–81 and 1980–82.[1]

After their third title, Bearsted moved up to the Kent County League, entering Division Two of the Western Section.[2] They won the division at the first attempt, earning promotion to Division One, which they also won in their first season in the division.[2] The next two seasons saw them finish as runners-up, before they won the Premier Division in 1986–87, earning promotion to the Senior Division.[3] Their first season in the Senior Division saw them become league champions.[3]

Following league restructuring in 1992, Bearsted were placed in Division One (West).[4] After finishing as runners-up in 1995–96, they won the division in 1996–97, earning promotion to the Premier Division.[4] They finished as runners-up in 1999–2000, before winning back-to-back league titles in 2000–01 and 2001–02.[5] After finishing eighth in 2010–11, the club became founder members of the Kent Invicta League in 2011.[6] The 2014–15 season saw them finish as runners-up, and they went on to win the league title and the Challenge Shield in 2015–16,[6] earning promotion to the Premier Division of the Southern Counties East League, which the Kent Invicta League had merged into.
