Nice to see the oldest Sunday League club still going getting the name on this thread.
They had three women's teams back in the day, don't have any now.
Chatted to another old player from that club at the other weeks Coastal Nomads game, we both reckoned that their mens team playing in the SSL back in the mid 70s would have held there own in the MPL this year, if you BTTFd them forward to today.
Mind you 10 of the 11 starting players had played senior football for Canterbury or higher.

Makes you wonder what happens? I know there is a cyclical nature to the ups and downs of club life but why is a club that was so successfull in the womens game no where to be seen now?
Oh and another claim to fame for Coastal as the most successful mens Sunday League club historically through their New Brighton constituent, the mighty Rovers!
