===First spell in the Football League=== In the first season of the newly created Football League Division Three, the [[1920β21 in English football|1920β21]] season, Gillingham again finished bottom, and in the years to follow there was little improvement on this, the club continually finishing in the lower reaches of the bottom division. In 1938 the team finished bottom of the [[Football League Third Division South|Third Division (South)]] and were required to apply for [[Re-election (Football League)|re-election]] for the fifth time since joining the league. This bid for re-election failed, with Gillingham returning to the Southern League and [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]] being promoted in their place.{{sfn|Triggs|1984|p=13}} Gillingham quickly established themselves as one of the stronger sides in the league, winning a local double of the [[Kent Football League (1894β1959)|Kent League]] and [[Kent Senior Cup]] in the [[1945β46 in English football|1945β46]] season.{{sfn|Triggs|1984|p=13}} In the [[1946β47 in English football|1946β47]] season the team won both the [[Southern Football League Cup (England)|Southern League Cup]] and the Southern League championship, during which they recorded a club record 12β1 victory over [[Gloucester City F.C.|Gloucester City]].{{sfn|Triggs|1984|p=16}} The Gills also won the league title in [[1948β49 in English football|1948β49]].{{sfn|Triggs|1984|p=19}}
