Dr Martens League Premier Division, 1996/1997 history


Hastings Performance


The Dr Martens League Premier Division 1996/1997 Season would prove to be a tough year for the boys in the White and Claret, finishing 16th sitting nestled between Dorchester Town and Crawley Town, they would go through a run of 14 games without a win, a late flurry of 7 wins in their final 11 games at the end of the season would ensure they didn't end up in the relegation zone. A first round knockout in the Sussex Senior Cup would be the real disappointment for Hastings Town having won the trophy the season before.
