The 1981–82 Kent Football League season was the sixteenth in the history of the Kent Football League, a football competition featuring teams based in and around the county of Kent in England.
The League structure comprised two divisions: Division One and Division Two with the latter known as the Reserves Section (reserves teams were not permitted in Division One). Additionally there were two league cup competitions: the Challenge Cup for the Division One clubs and another for the teams in Division Two.
The 1981–82 Kent Football League Challenge Cup was won by Deal Town.[3]
The competition, contested by all sixteen clubs in the league, comprised four single match tie rounds culminating in the final which was played on a neutral ground (at Sittingbourne F.C.[4] this season).
The letter "R" following team names indicates a club's reserves team.
Division Two featured mostly reserves teams (which were not permitted in Division One) from clubs from Kent and the adjacent area whose first team played in Division One and other higher ranked leagues. There was a League Cup competition for the teams in the section.
The league featured seventeen clubs (including one non-reserve team, Snowdown Colliery Welfare) who had all competed in the division the previous season.
The division was won by Maidstone United R,[5] part of a Division Two league and cup double.
At the end of the season Deal Town R resigned from the league.
The 1981–82 Kent Football League Division Two Cup was won by Maidstone United R,[6] part of a Division Two league and cup double.
The competition was contested by all seventeen clubs in the division and comprised five single match tie rounds (with a single tie in the first round) culminating in the final which was played on a neutral ground (at Chatham Town F.C.[7] this season).
