***********************************************************************************
The Dartford FC Junior Section was originally formed in 1990 as St Vincent Vikings FC.
The Junior Section is completely self funding & all those involved are volunteers, including managers & coaches.
In the early days, the younger teams played in the Gravesend Primary League. Teams at under 11's & played in the Bexley & District Junior Football League.
From the start of the 2002/03 season the under 7's team for that season were the 1st of our teams to participate in the SELKENT League. Details of fixtures/results/tables are on http://www.selkent.org.uk/
In May 2003 an important landmark was reached when to the delight of all those involved, the club affiliated to Dartford Football Club.
In order to retain a link to its roots, initially the Junior Section played under the name of Dartford Vikings. However, it became clear that the name was blurring the link with Dartford FC. Therefore, the section started to play under the Dartford FC name from the start of the 2006/7 season
At the time, the deal moved Dartford Football Club a step closer to gaining FA Charter Standard status. This was crucial for the club to gain the backing to enable its return to the Borough of Dartford.
These are exciting times for the section.
From the new season 2011/2012, there are likely to be at least 15 teams within the Junior Section next season, ranging from Under 7's through to Under 17's.
All these Junior Teams will be playing in the SELKENT League.
In line with what has always been the policy of the Junior Section, players of differing abilities will be representing the club.
