Langton Green CSA and Rusthall FC United win at FA Pokémon Futsal Youth Cup at Medway Park in under-12 and under-14 boys' categories respectively

The Kent FA recently held the under-12 and under-14 boys’ FA Pokémon Futsal Youth Cup local qualifying competition.

Langton Green CSA won the under-12s event which started at 9am, with six teams entering, while it was Rusthall FC United who came out on top in the under-14 category.

Toby Elgar and Rebecca Moore, football development officers at the Kent FA, said: “We’d like to thank all teams, players, coaches and parents/carers for a fantastic day of futsal!

“The standard on the day was incredibly high, with some brilliant team play and individual skill on display and everyone conducted themselves on and off the pitch superbly.

“Congratulations to Langton Green CSA under-12s and Rusthall FC United under-14s for winning the competitions and we wish them all the best heading into the regional stages later in the year.

“We want to thank our fantastic futsal referees for their time and efforts on the day and our hosts, Medway Park.”

Erith & Belvedere FC, Langton Green CSA, South London Inspire Futsal, JSA Futsal, Tune in 2 Futsal and Gillingham Town FC played a round-robin group stage of five 15-minute games each of futsal across the morning in the under-12 category.

This determined the top two teams to go into the Final for a place in the regional stage of the competition, which will take place later in the year.

Langton Green CSA finished the group stage with a perfect record, and South London Inspire Futsal followed closely behind to set up a fantastic final.

The Final was closely contested but Langton Green CSA just had the edge and ran out winners.

The under-14 competition got under way at 12.30pm on February 4 and saw nine teams from six clubs compete.
