When you thought the league wouldn’t be the same without Reggae Boyz… the SLL welcomed La Pulga! They entered the league like they were Reggae Boyz reborn and provided heavy scorelines against every team the first half of the season and handed Malcolm X their first loss of their South London League reign.
Once the Christmas break was over and teams returned revitalised, La Pulga started to trip under pressure and Malcolm X solved their first half of the season woes picking up wins , dominating teams and showing a defensive masterclass every game. The final game of the season saw La Pulga face Malcolm X with a winner takes all scenario. Malcolm X were defensively ruthless, showed they can match La Pulga at their own game and showed a ruthlessness that La Pulga lacked running away 4-2 winners and become back to back champions!

Golden boot | Hus (Global) – 17 goals
With the league making noise around South London, it was only a matter of time till an injection of teams entering the league could match Reggae Boyz. The SLL introduced Claire Fontaine, Global, Malcolm X and M Boys. The levels had risen and as an indicator, SRC, El Rafico and Reggae Boyz, all once title challengers of the South London League became mid-table or relegation battlers in Season 3.
We had a 3 team title race at one point with Claire Fontaine, Global and Malcolm X and became a battle of which team could hold their nerve when the going gets tough. It proved too much for Claire Fontaine and Global. Malcolm X ran away with the league and won by 7 points marking the end of the Reggae Boyz dynasty. Reggae Boyz decided to take a break from the league… The SLL awaits for their return!

Reggae Boyz became back to back champions of the South London League! We were blessed with a title deciding match in the final game of the season where Pana FC had to beat Reggae Boyz to win their potentially first league title. Pana FC came close earlier on in the season with a great effective counter attacking game and were just prevented the 3 points versus Reggae Boyz with a last second equaliser from Reggae Boyz but in the final encounter of the season, there was only ever going to be one winner…
Reggae Boyz showed their true selves and ran away 4-2 winners showing how dominating the ball in all areas of the game is the key to win games. Incredibly, Pana FC ended 3rd in the league as although SRC were not in the title race on the final game of the season, they achieved enough points to overtake Pana FC on the final game of the season.
Player of the season | Melz (Reggae Boyz)
Golden boot | Ricardo (Reggae Boyz) – 11 goals
Reggae Boyz took the league by storm in the South London Leagues inaugural season with no close contenders to truly battle with. El Rafico came closest ending in 2nd place and prevented a Reggae Boyz’ 100% win record in the final game of the season which saw one of the greatest goals in SLL’s history.
