Ashford AC athletes entered teams within each age group and produced fantastic results culminating in athletes being selected to compete for Kent in the Regional Finals at Burgess Hill in Sussex.
The Under 13 Kent Boys team (which included several Ashford athletes) were then invited to take part in the UK Finals in Stoke and came a well-deserved 6th out of nine teams from across the whole of England.
Ashford A.C under 11s became Kent Sportshall Champions once again, undefeated over many years. Alongside the under 13s also gaining the Kent Championship title. From this 14 of our youngsters over the three age groups from Ashford A.C. were selected to represent Kent in the Southeast Sportshall Regional Finals 2023/24 travelling to Burgess Hill.
Kent went on to win the under13 age group, with 4 of our under 13 athletes, then going on to win as part of the Kent team, the UK National Finals at Fenton in Stoke - on -Trent to become UK champions, with Jake Phillips also being crowned Speed Bounce UK National Champion.
