Edgware Town confirm their sad demise

DARTFORD fans will always remember the day that their side officially won the Ryman League Division One North title this season, writes Stephen McCartney.

Despite going down to a 2-1 defeat away to Edgware Town on the penultimate Saturday of the season, at least 500 fans spilt onto the pitch at the White Lion Ground at the final whistle to celebrate Tony Burman’s side’s success.

But, unfortunately, Edgware Town are no longer a Ryman League club.

A statement issued by the north London club said: “As you are probably aware due to lack of funds Edgware Town Football Club have been unable to confirm that they have a ground secured fro the coming season.

“For this reason they have had to resign from Ryman Division One North as well as the Middlesex FA and FA Cup Competitions.

“The club will not be dissolved and will remain as a registered member of the Middlesex Football Association; Mr Batten will remain as Chairman of the Club.

“This means that if funding can be found in the future or a ground can be secured the club will be able to continue under the name of Edgware Town Football Club.”
