There’s a significant milestone for Kennington manager Dan Scorer this Saturday. The Southern Counties East Premier Division club’s FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round trip to division rivals Glebe will be long-serving Ton boss Scorer’s 300th game in charge.
He has seen plenty of changes since he first joined when they were in the second tier of the Kent County League. “It’s something I’m immensely proud of,” said Scorer, who had to give up playing due to an injury. “Also, it’s my 10th season at the club.
I’m not sure what’s the bigger milestone. “When I started in Kent County League Division 1, we only had 10 teams in our division.
Then, last season, we played 54 games. “If I had a couple of seasons at this level prior to what I’ve had, I could be close to 500 games! “It’s been a good journey and long may it continue.” There is something of a bizarre symmetry between his 200th and 300th matches in charge.
