Sunday, 10th November the MF Kent Team headed to Stourbridge for the annual British Championships.  The preperation for this event had been excellent and all 29 students worked tirelessley for weeks.  With over 190 competitors taking part from all over the country it was always going to be a challenging yet exciting day!

The day certainly did not dissapoint – we had tears, excitement, drama and joy as the team worked their socks off and really did perform their best.  Each and every member of the team were true “champions” in everything they did.  Whether they won or lost, they showed such great sportsmanship and grace throughout the day and represented themselves so well.

As the dust settled the team came home with an amazing 22 trophies, including many British Champions and personal best performances.

As well as congratulating the team on their conduct and performances I would personally like to thank the amazing team of family members, friends and supporters.  Their energy throughout the day was amazing and certainly helped to carry the team to new heights.  Also, huge thanks must go to the team of Instructors and Coaches who spent the day running from ring to rin ensuring that everyone was happy and had the support they needed.  Their dedication both on the day and leading up to the event has been second-to-none and is greatly appreciated.

The team consisted of:

• Tiree Daly
• Lauren Coulthard
• Sareep Gill
• Charlie Hinder
• Nick Chivers
• Amy Chivers
• Frankii Gibson
• Gill Gibson
• Saom Anisi
• Aryana Anisi
• Jake Porter-Ward
• Lauren Russell
• Alison Bridges
• John Boon
• Harrison Cullen

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
