We are delighted to announce a new partnership with The Merit Group who have come on board to support the youth Kent County Cups for this 2021-22 season.

The Merit Group, based in Rochester, provide a plethora of services which include office furniture installations and relocations, managed print and document solutions and voice and data solutions. But it is their family ethos of trust and teamwork that runs through the heart of the business, which cements them as a fantastic partner for Kent football. The Merit Group are no strangers to grassroots football. They have a long-standing passion and commitment to youth grassroots sports where they already sponsor several youth teams across Maidstone & Medway.

Darryl Haden, Kent FA’s Chief Executive is delighted to welcome Kent business, The Merit Group, to the Kent FA family. “This new and exciting partnership with The Merit Group has come at a pinnacle time with the launch of our new three-year strategy, Play – Protect - Promote. They have already proven their commitment to the Kent grassroots football community, and through this partnership, we look forward to developing even more opportunities in the youth game.”

Mike Newton, Director at The Merit Group explains why becoming the Kent FA Partner is so important to him “The Merit Group are extremely excited to be partnering with the Kent FA and sponsoring the Kent County Youth Cup. Cultivating a strong team spirit and family ethos are central to our company core values and what better way for our future generations to experience this by coming together on a football pitch. Sometimes to win, sometimes to lose, but always together.
