IN FOCUS - ORPINGTON AND BROMLEY SUNDAY FOOTBALL LEAGUE SENIOR DIVISION

The Orpington and Bromley Sunday Football League has six divisions for the 2018/19 season with a total of 54 teams competing. A good number of players in the top division also play Saturday football in the Bostik League and Southern Counties East League with a few examples being Nathaniel Pinney, who is currently with Whitehawk, playing for AFC Kumazi Strikers - He is probably best known for his time with Eastbourne Borough from 2014 to 2017 but did start his career with Crystal Palace and Omari Hibbert, who is playing for Kenningwell United, has played for Walton Casuals this season. Malik Solebo of SE Dons plays for Cray Wanderers. 

As you'll see form the table below the Senior Division is really competitive this season with perhaps the favourites for the title being SE DONS who are huge on youtube and social media with their videos being viewed over 100,000 times on a regular basis. They, due to numerous cup games, have only played six league games so far. Last season's champions were Kenningwell United who are one of the oldest Sunday football teams in London being formed in 1967.
