A poor season which saw Margate miss out on qualification for the new Alliance Premier League in 1979-80 by failing to finish in the top 13 places. In November, Jack Smith replaced Dennis Hunt as manager. We did have our best run so far in the FA Trophy, going out after a replay to Runcorn in the Third Round.
