We may have been small in number but the spirit with which we competed was outstanding. There were some excellent performances across the board and I think it is true to say that each and every team member did their very best.
As usual, out intrepid team of parents, friends and Instructors were incredible and a huge part of the MF Kent Team success. Thank you one and all.
Here is the team:
