In 1951, the club almagated with another local club, St John's United and became members of the Kent Amateur League (Western Region) which they won on two occasions. In 1984, the Kent Amateur League was re-organised as the Kent County League and Sevenoaks were the 1st Premier Division champions, a title which Sevenoaks later won again twice in 1995-96 and 2002-03.
