Southern Championships

6th April 2013

Portsmouth

After lots of hard work and dedication we found ourselves at the 2013 Southern Championships with our largest ever competition team ready for action.  This was also to be the largest Southern Championships with 211 competitors from schools all over the South of England, so we knew it was going to be tough but very exciting!

I think it is fair to say that as a team we were fantastic!  Every single person tried their very best and certainly came away with plenty of experience and wonderful memories.  As a team I feel we conducted ourselves with true sportsmanship and compassion and for that I am truly proud of everyone.

After the dust settled we came home with an amazing 23 trophies and some very well deserved top 5 places.  Every single student can be extremely proud of what was achieved.  There may have been plenty of medals but we trained as a team, we competed as a team, we helped one another as a team and we can celebrate as a team.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all of the MF Kent Instructors who have given up so much of their time and energy in preparing everyone and for supporting and helping so well on the day.  In addition, the amazing support, enthusiasm and dedication from family members and friends who came along on the day and brought their children and friends along to each training session.

What a wonderful family we all are!

Many thanks

Master Finch
