Our Opponents:

Corinthians have a difficult start to their SCEFL season as they currently sit in 16th place and closer to the relegation zone then they would have been hoping for.

In terms of player quality, Corinthians does house some attacking talent with Tom

Mitcham leading the team in scoring and is definitely one Punjab will be on the look out to stop in his tracks.

In their last five games, Corinthian have picked up only one win against Hollands & Blair.

History:

Corinthian FC, founded in 1972 by R.J. Billings Snr., built its reputation on fair play and strong youth development. After rising to men’s football and competing in the Southern League, the club later refocused on rebuilding its youth structure before returning to senior competitions. They enjoyed strong seasons from 2015–2020, including a near-promotion and a deep FA Vase run halted by Covid.

Promotion to the Isthmian League followed, but a later rebuild led to relegation. In 2023/24, Michael Golding guided Corinthian to both the play-off and League Cup finals, losing both on penalties, as the club heads into the 2024/25 season.

At the end of the 2024/25 season Michael Golding left his roll as Corinthian First Team Manager after 10 1/2 years in charge. Keith McMahon takes over the roll for the 2025/26 season.
