AFTER the disappointment of missing out on promotion to the Kent League last season, a football club is calling on its neighbours for help.

Lewisham Borough were denied promotion after the FA deemed their ground unsuitable for the higher league.

It left the devastated team and fans looking at ways to improve facilities and allow the club to progress.

For starters they have launched a new website to allow fans access to news - web-teams.co.uk/lewisham boroughfc.

Team manager Anthony Sands said: "If we can get people down to the games to support us and get the businesses involved with the club in terms of sponsorship then we can hopefully move forward and gain promotion this season."

After an opening day 4-4 draw at Sheerness East and a 3-2 result H&B, Lewisham's first home match is on August 26 against Crockenhill.
