Championing women and girls in sport has been a longstanding commitment in my work and leisure life, rooted in a genuine belief in just how powerful and life-changing sport can be for both individuals and communities.
That is why I was delighted to learn that the women’s team at Maidstone United Football Club won the South East Counties Women’s Football League Premier Division title.
They achieved this after an entire season unbeaten and a 3–0 away win against Gillingham team Hollands & Blair last Sunday. That’s 50 points from 16 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses -hats off to manager Tori Campbell, the players, coaches and staff - you have achieved something truly special.
I wish you every success in the SECWFL League Cup Final against Cray Wanderers Women at the end of the month too (28th May 2026, 7:30 kick-off at Maidstone’s Gallagher Stadium. Tickets will go on sale soon – click here for details: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/secwflorlserwfl.
