Posted on: September 10th, 2013 by David Finch

CANTERBURY & DISTRICT SPORTS AWARDS

Closing date for nominations coming soon!

The nomination period for the Canterbury and District Sports Awards, held in association with Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Kent, closes in 10 days’ time.

We believe there are hundreds of talented athletes, dedicated coaches and unsung heroes behind every sports club, but we need your help to recognise their achievements. There are eight categories to chose from but please consider who within your club deserves to be rewarded, even if that person is you.

The top three candidates in each category will be given two free tickets to attend the awards evening on Friday 18 October, where the winners will be announced.

This year, the evening will be hosted by the BBC South East sports presenter Neil Bell. Legendary rugby player Nicky Little will be sharing his experiences of being Fiji’s highest points scorer and there will be a performance from one of the stars of last year’s Paralympics Opening Ceremony.

If you don’t want to miss out on the chance to celebrate all that your club and individuals have achieved this year, then get nominating before midnight on Friday 20 September 2013.

MF Kent Row for Charity

Posted on: July 28th, 2013 by David Finch

2013 Dover Regatta Boat Race

The day may have started off wet and windy but the sun finally came through on a wonderful day of fun rowing at the Dover Regatta Boat Race.  We had 2 teams made up of students, parents, family and friends with plenty of noisy support on shore.

Each of the boats, MF Enterprise & Men of Steel, rowed their hearts out and had so much fun on the water.  After a busy day with one of our boats reaching the quarter finals it was time for the most important race of the day – a race-off between our two teams.

After nearly crashing into each other we finally got a clean start.  Clearly shaken but the danger, Men of Steel seemed to make a break for France whilst MF Enterprise stuck to their task and come away with deserving bragging rights.  Sadly a forfeit must ensue even for me!

Thank you to everyone who came, supported and made a splash.  We helped to raise £2000 for charity which as a fantastic effort!

Until next year…
