The second competition was held in 2007  based in  5 venues (Bun Penny, Druids, Prince of Wales, Queen Vic, Hope and Anchor).

The standard was raised after the success of the 2006 competition and Herne Bay followers were out in force.

The winners , who played at the Bun Penny were the fantastic Syd Arthur from Canterbury.Syd Arthur 05
