Medway is set to go sporting mad with a week-long fiesta of competition.

Primary school pupils through to over-50s masters will take part in a range of events as Medway stages its first ever Festival of Sport.

The festival, being staged at the new Medway Park regional centre of sporting excellence, will kick off with a six-a-side football mini world cup, where schools will do battle representing the 32 nations that have qualified for the main event.



The festival will also host two inaugural Night of Champions competitions, when the highest ranked schools from the Medway Mini Youth Games and Secondary School Games will compete to be crowned Medway champions.

The inaugural Festival of Sport is being jointly organised by the Medway Sports Development Team, the staff at Medway Park, and Medway School Sport Partnership development managers Kelly Harris and Claire Moore.


Sports Development Officer John Hatchett said: “The festival aims to recognise all that is good about sport in Medway. We have many extremely talented sportspeople across all age groups, and this is an opportunity for them to compete in high-quality competition.”

The Medway Festival of Sport starts on Friday, June 18 with the mini world cup football for primary schools and a basketball festival for secondary schools, organised by Medway Park Crusaders (http://www.kentcrusaders.co.uk/).
