Welcome to the SELKENT League

        Divisional Registration Administrators (DRA) Urgently Needed for Season 2025-2026

We asked in the June Secretary Note for clubs to ask their members if they would be or know someone that would be interested volunteering to become a Divisional Registration Administrator (DRA) for season 2025-2026. You may not be aware that if we do not have a DRA for each of our age groups, we will not be in a position to offer football to all age groups for season 2025-2026. This is why I have headed this notice in Red and URGENT.

We are hoping that by adding this notice to the front page of the web site it will alert our members to our urgent need of volunteers to take on the role of a DRA it might be possible that if you cannot volunteer, you may know someone that might be interested in volunteering for this role.

What has helped us recruit volunteers in the past is the utilisation of retired people who while enjoying their retirement also enjoyed giving a little of their time each week to being a DRA for the SelKent League. With the help of our members spreading the word we are hoping to reach people that we cannot reach.

All a volunteer needs to be a DRA is a computer or laptop. We are not saying our volunteers have to be retired as we need and would welcome all volunteers.

 If you or anyone you know is interested in assisting us with this very important league role, please contact the: -
League Registration Secretary Kay McIvor e-mail: kaymcivor6@gmail.com

We appreciate any help you can give us in securing volunteers that will take on the Role as a League Divisional Registration Administrator. 

In Memory of Mick Northwood
Who sadly lost his battle today to stay with his Family, Friends and beloved Long Lane Football Club. Mick did what only Mick knew how to do he took on the biggest battle of his life but sadly this time Mick lost.  But as Mick always said to me every cloud has a silver lining, and his silver lining is that he is now with the love of his Life his wife Tina Northwood.

To try and write about a person whose loss to his wonderful family his beloved Long Lane but also to Youth Football both Boys and Girls is immense. Mick and I go back years, so I know how he fought to make grassroots football acknowledged and respected by the F.A. I can never put into words how special Mick Northwood was and that there will never be another like him. He built Long Lane from nothing and turned it into the Club it is today.

Mick was never just about Long Lane it was about Youth Football as a whole we worked together for many years trying to ensure that Youth Football would always be about the Children. He wanted to give children the opportunity to play this wonderful game. We both recognised early on that Youth Football was never just about the restrictions put in our way it was about forming a Community that brought us together under the one banner new “Grassroots Youth Football”. He devoted over forty years for this cause and has impacted many lives on the way.

Mick we will never forget how much you did for Youth Football and your legacy will never be forgotten because you really were “SPECIAL".

Goodbye my dear friend I will miss you forever!
