The Marathon Ground
The under 15 girls team used to play in the South-East London & Kent League who run three competitions the Selkent League the Selkent Challenge Cup and the Selkent Shield.
The team formed in 2002, started out as a mini-soccer team Phoenix Sports.

The team is based in Kent , around the Dartford/Bexley area.

The League is run, gaining 2 points for a win and 1 point for a draw. Teams play each other home and away. The Challenge Cup is a knockout competition which has the winning team progressing to the next round and a final at the end of the season The shield is run on a champions league format, with teams playing a league round and then a knockout stage and a finals day at the end of the season.
The girls also participate in local tournaments run by other football clubs.The squad also gets the opportunity to go on a end of season tour. in 2005 the team went on a tour of Norfolk and 2006 they went to the south coast.For the 2006/7 season the team went on an 11 a-side tour to Norfolk to play in the Mitre Ultimatch Cup, and won a tough match against Norwich City in the Final to win the Cup.
