KENT FA IS DELIGHTED TO REVEAL THE WINNERS OF THE FA & McDONALD's GRASSROOTS FOOTBALL AWARDS 2020

Every year, we celebrate those people who make a positive difference to our football community. It’s our way of celebrating the fantastic individuals who put their heart and soul into the grassroots game across Kent – and say a huge thank you to the incredible volunteers who inspire us all. 

Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus pandemic, we are unable to celebrate our wonderful winners in the usual way. However, it is more important than ever to recognise and thank them for their hard work and dedication in a challenging time. So, join us in saying a huge congratulations to our 2020 winners!
