Faversham Town F.C. are a football club based in Faversham, England. They joined the Kent League in 1949 and won the title in 1970, 1971 and 1990. In 2003 they resigned from the league with 8 games left to play, but rejoined in 2006.

They are known locally as the "Lilywhites" (because they play in white) or "Sorters" (as they play at Salters Lane) and are the only team besides the England national football team to wear the 3 lions badge.

History

The Lilywhites joined the original Kent League in 1949 and played there, without any great success, until it folded ten years later. Records are unclear as to what the club did next, but in 1966 a new incarnation of the Kent League was formed, with Faversham as one of the founder members. They played in this league until 1971 when, after two successive championships, they became founder members of the new Metropolitan Football League. Two years later they were on the move again, this time to the Athenian League, where they played for three seasons before rejoining the Kent League.

In the Lilywhites' second season back in the Kent League they were champions, a feat they repeated in 1990, but in 2003 they were forced to resign from the league midway through the season. Strangely the league opted not to expunge their record but rather to decide the final table on an "average points per game" basis.

For the 2006-07 season Faversham rejoined the Kent League.
