Can someone remind me when OMTs disappeared?
Thank you.

They withdrew from the league on Nov 15 2021. Their pitcheroo site lists games in March 2022 in the cup, including a victory over Ealing. But that seems to have been the end.

Thank you. They obviously did not come back the following season.

It would be interesting to know from people on the forum about other clubs that have ceased to exist in recent years. I believe Dagenham withdrew from their league just before the beginning of this season, but I don't know if that means they have disappeared completely.

Doing better than Barking it seems. I remember when Barking were playing London Scottish for promotion to the Championship.

Perhaps OMT will make a comeback in next season's Premiership II.

What became of Old Elthamians when they pulled out of Nat 1?

The professionals left. The club carried on. Playing at QMUL sports ground in Chiselhurst rather than the school 1st XV in Counties 2 Kent A team in the merit tables And a mini and youth section. |

Extraordinary story, from the heights of Nat 1 (and return matches against Tynedale, longest trips in National League history?) to extinction, following sponsors Michael Leah’s divorce and business collapse. Still, Twickenham in 2007 with Pirates and Mounts Bay both picking up the relevant cups, was an unforgettable day.

Rothman - I was there, somewhere behind the Barking dead ball line. Trying to understand what had just happened. It was played after the end of the season in a catch-up week, so few other clubs had matches, so a lot of neutrals came to watch the decider.
