Glebe FC vs Punjab United, SCEFL Premier Division, Foxbury Avenue, Saturday 4th January 2025, 3:00pm Kick-Off
Punjab kick off 2025 with an away game against playoff-chasing Glebe who currently sit in 8th place. Punjab will be looking to get back to winning ways after a 3-0 defeat to Hollands & Blair.
Fred Dillon’s Glebe side will be looking to pick up their first win in the league in five matches after drawing four and most recently losing 3-0 to Fisher which was the final game of 2024.

Glebe FC were founded (as the junior side Glebe Globetrotters) in 1995 by chairman Rocky McMillan and his wife Grace. Initially based in West Wickham and starting with just a sole Under 8’s team, the club progressed through the age groups. Regulars in Kent’s Youth Leagues we won every junior trophy possible – including 10 London County Cups.
After their exceptional beginnings as a Junior side, their committee voted to form a Senior section in 2010 and the newly established team joined the Kent Invicta League (KIL) in 2013-14.
But for years Glebe were nomads, seemingly unable to secure a permanent home. For the first two seasons the senior side ground-shared with Holmesdale, but, in 2014, we signed a 25 year lease to take over Old Elthamians Rugby Club. This was a historic day in the club’s history, when they had a base to be a focal point for sport in the community, at last.
In 2016-17 the Kent Invicta League became the SCEFL’s First Division and Glebe went up as champions - clear by 12 points.
Last season Glebe finished in a club record 3rd place in the league but lost in the playoffs to Erith Town who were the eventual winners and got promoted.
This is now their 8th consecutive season in the SCEFL Premier Division.
Manager Fred Dillon will be looking to key man Jamie Philpot who is considered an icon to Glebe, being there since 2019 and consistently being up there with the top goal scorers each year. This year he currently has 11 goals in the league and will be someone that Punjab manager Chipie Sian will want to keep quiet.
