AFC Double Winners!
Well what can you say about the 2007-2008 season. Our first season and we win the league and cup double with some impressive performances and many many high points. From the 2 vital victories over rivals Ecko Thames Park to the opening day win of Leigh Gentlemen, the team have performed consistently well over the course of this season and deserve huge amounts of credit for the unbeaten league campaign - in fact AFC Southchurch dropped 2 points all season long with a draw against Kursaal.
Few low points this season included the cup exits at Rayleigh in the Essex Cup and to Hawkwell Athletic, the eventual winners, in the Charity Cup Semi Final, but take nothing away from this bunch of lads who deserve all the praise they get for an incredible first outing.
