The following season in 2008 the Spitfires moved into the London League again played a total of 8 games, winning four and losing four. This was enough to secure 3rd place in the table and a play-off semi-final against West London Sharks. The Spitfires lost to the Sharks in a close game who eventually went on to beat Bedford Tigers in the final. The Spitfires then applied to join the new South East Division of the Rugby League Conference and were accepted for 2009.
