On Sunday 10th July the Sevenoaks District Cub Scouts held their annual football competition on Chipstead Common. 12 teams from 11 packs took part with over 80 cubs playing. The day was split into 2 parts, the group stage involving 3 leagues of 4 teams and the knock out stage with a Cup and a Plate Competition. After the Group stage the league tables were as follows:

Many thanks to all for attending and congratulations and thanks go to 17th Westerham for doing the refreshments and to the Ide Hill Football Club for providing the referees. We estimate that there were over 200 people at the event. Next time, please can it not be quite so hot and would teams either win or lose in the knock out stage! I have never seen so much extra time or so many penalties!
