Kent School Games 2012 Launch

A special event to launch the 2012 Kent School Games was held last Thursday 2 February 2012 at the University of Kent, Canterbury.

The Launch saw the first Finals of this year's School Games and approximately 240 children aged 14 and under competed in the 2012 Futsal Finals. Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced small sided Football game that is widely played across the world and is officially recognised by both UEFA and FIFA.

The event was attended by a host of sporting stars including double-Olympic Great Britain Hockey star Mel Clewlow, Olympic Rhythmic Gymnast hopeful Keziah Gore and Paralympic hopefuls Joshua Taylor, Athletics and Helen Sole, Sitting Volleyball.

Claire Rafferty and Dani Buet, both of Chelsea Ladies and England Football Squad, also attended the Launch and presented the winners of the Futsal finals with their well deserved medals.

There was a presentation from KCC Cabinet Member for Customer and Communities, Mike Hill, and an awesome display of Football Freestyling skills from John Farnworth.  John will soon be heading to New York to perform in the hit theatre show BRAZIL! BRAZIL!
