The Final, Langton D vs Langton B:
The final match ended in a thrilling 2–2 draw, but with both teams level on points, it came down to goal difference. Langton D edged it with 11 goals scored vs 10, claiming the overall Team Event Title by the slimmest of margins.
What a way to finish the weekend, two fantastic squads putting on a real show.
A Massive thanks to Kent Invicta TFC for a superbly run weekend and to all players, referees, and supporters who made the event such a success. The spirit, camaraderie, and skill on display were a brilliant advert for Subbuteo at every level.
