Cray Valley Paper Mills

Champions of the Isthmian Division One South East, Cray Valley Paper Mills have been on a fantastic ride these last six years. Winning the Southern Counties East and reaching the F.A Vase final at Wembley in 2019 is no longer their pinnacle. Three years ago, they reached the F.A Cup first round for the first time and repeated that achievement last season. In an almost unbeaten campaign last time out, the Millers will enjoy a debut in the Isthmian Premier.

2023/2024 Season
Isthmian Division One South East: 1st
F.A Cup: 1st Round
F.A Trophy: 2nd Round
Kent Senior Cup: 2nd Round
London Senior Cup: 1st Round
Top League Scorer: Kyrell Lisbie (29 goals)

Grabbing headlines in the F.A Cup by earning a replay against Charlton Athletic in a local derby, the Millers had an astonishing league campaign too. Champions by six points, 103 goals scored and just one defeat. Cray Valley Paper Mills dropped just two points on the road winning their first 16 away matches, only runners up Ramsgate stopped them from a perfect away record. With the title still going down to the final game, the Millers made no mistake.

Manager – Steve McKimm

A decade ago, Steve McKimm was appointed manager of Tonbridge Angels. He took the Kent club to the National South by winning the 2019 playoff final. Two years later the Angels reached the F.A Cup first round and in the following season made it to the F.A Trophy fifth round for the first time. McKimm left Longmead for Carshalton Athletic prior his arrival at Cray Valley Paper Mills and his first campaign went rather well.
