special thanks to Gary for organising the tour and the awards day. Both a fantastic success.

Coming season the Academy will expand as we welcome the U16's into a huge Academy. We will be entering Kent U17 & U18 leagues and the National Colts Cup, which will be U18 (not U19) from September.

Pre-Season will start early july - watch this space for the dates and have a good break.
