FRIENDLY FOOTBALL BECOMING A REGULAR FIXTURE

The Community Challenge Cup football tournament which was held in Blenheim Drive, Hawkinge in July has proved to be a winner and the teams which took part will now be playing throughout the year.

Last week, a friendly tournament was arranged by the KCC Community Wardens, Paul James from Capel, Gary Harrison from Elham Valley and myself Tanya Clark from Hawkinge, on Thursday (26 October) at the Churchill School. 

The event was a great success and it was good to see the players from all the villages mixing together and a large number of parents turning up to support their children. Everyone enjoyed the day which brought the local communities together and helped to build inter-village relations. It showed partnership working at its best.

I would like to thank all the support, time and effort put in to result in a successful and enjoyable day: Churchill School - the venue and referee, Hawkinge Partnership Office - certificates and cold drinks, Lidl's - refreshments, Neighbourhood Police Officer, Local residents, the KCC Community Wardens for the organisation and arranging of the teams and of course all the youth participation.

The players of mixed ages from 11-14 and youth teams which took part were from Capel, Etchinghill, Lyminge and Hawkinge. They each played against each other, resulting in two semi-finals and a final in which Capel beat Etchinghill to take the winning title on the day.
