London Senior Cup - Past Campaigns
Winners 2017
The Millers have a rich history in the London Senior Cup becoming the lowest ranked side (step 5) to lift the trophy (pictured above courtesy of two men in search of the beautiful game) when they beat Metropolitan Police FC 2-1 at Champion Hill, Dulwich on the evening of Wednesday 3rd May 2017. Ben Francis gave the Millers the lead in the 16th minute before Ola Sogbanmu equalised 6 minutes later. A second half goal on the hour from Aaron Rhule proved to be the winner for the Millers in a tense and exciting game.
On the way to the final the Millers had some notable scalps winning 3-1 at Welling United followed by home wins against AFC Wimbledon 2-1 and Dulwich Hamlet 3-2 after extra time in the semi-final.
