On the minor cups front in 1961–62 the club won the Kent Floodlight Trophy, beating Tonbridge 2–1 in a second replay, but were losers 1–4 to Dover in the Kent Senior Cup final. In the latter competition after an aggregate draw over two ties the decider for the Senior Cup 1961–62 winner was unusually played at the start of the 1962–63 season (in front of a little over four thousand spectators on neutral territory at Folkestone). The team put this setback behind them and later that same season lifted the Kent Senior Cup for a third time by beating Margate 1–0 in the 1962–63 final played at Gillingham with former England Youth player Brian Dellar notching the decider.
