1991–92 Kent Football League

The 1991–92 Kent Football League season (known as the Winstonlead Kent League for sponsorship reasons) was the 26th in the history of the Kent Football League, a football competition in England, featuring clubs from Kent and the adjacent area.

The League structure comprised two divisions: Division One and Division Two with the latter known as the Reserves Section (reserves teams were not permitted in Division One). Additionally there were two league cup competitions: the Challenge Cup for the Division One clubs and another for the teams in Division Two.

Division One
The league season commenced with 22 clubs, of which 20 competed in the previous season together with two additional clubs:
 * Corinthian, relegated from the Southern League
 * Thamesmead Town, transferred from the Spartan League

Also, Danson, following a merger with Furness F.C., were renamed Danson Furness United.

The Metropolitan Police (Hayes) club, in their eight season in the league, withdrew during the season after playing 16 matches and their record was expunged.

The league was won by Herne Bay.

After the end of the season Thames Polytechnic, who had been league members for seven seasons, were unable to meet enhanced ground grading requirements and resigned from the league and joined the Kent County League.

Challenge Cup
The 1991–92 Kent Football League Challenge Cup was won by Tonbridge AFC.

The competition was contested by the 22 teams active in Division One in the early part of the season. There were four single match knock-out rounds followed by the final played on a neutral ground (at Dover Athletic F.C. this season).
