00:00Hello, and welcome along to Invicta Sport, the only show on your TV dedicated to wrapping
00:19up all of Kent's sporting action. I'm Finn McDermid, and here's what to expect on this
00:24Monday 23rd September. Gold for goals, Ashford United's Lokia discusses
00:30his impressive FA Cup tally. Guardian Angels, Tonbridge's unbeaten streak
00:37is saved at the death. And striking out, Kent Cricket Club are relegated
00:45from County Championship Division 1. But first, a round-up of the headlines. It
00:51was a great weekend for fans of Canterbury Rugby Club, who are now three wins in three
00:56games after their clash with Worthing. The side are now joint top of the National
01:00League 2 ETH table after beating their opponent 49-21, scoring their first try in only the
01:06third minute, thanks to Harvey Furneaux. This comes after impressive wins against Colchester
01:11and Sevenoaks, but Canterbury do face their most difficult challenge yet, heading to Guernsey
01:16on Saturday to face off against another unbeaten side.
01:20Next, the Sabuto World Cup kicked off in Tonbridge Wells this weekend, where the tabletop finger-flicking
01:26game was invented in 1961. Representatives from England, Brazil, Japan and even reigning
01:32champions Italy made the trip to the Royal Victoria Shopping Centre in Tonbridge Wells.
01:36A total of 15 nations will be attending, and it marks 12 years since the event was last
01:41held in the UK, when Manchester hosted the Cup.
01:45And as always for England fans, disappointment followed when a referee decision meant that
01:48Kaspar Bennett's game-winning goal didn't count, and the side were knocked out by Italy,
01:53who went on to win.
01:55Next, a Margate teenager has become the youngest ever female Panna champion. Anna Bertova made
02:01history last week when she brought home the World Champion trophy after competing in Copenhagen.
02:07Panna is a freestyle street sport and might be familiar to many football fans, where the
02:11aim is to pass the ball between an opponent's legs. It's named after the Dutch word for
02:15nutmeg.
02:16And the 15-year-old belongs to the Jo Street Zone group, which runs sessions in Thanet,
02:20and her talents on the ball have earned her a victory in Denmark.
02:24Now an Olympic champion has joined calls for Folkestone Sports Centre to be reopened, after
02:29its sudden closure left 144 people without jobs. It shut down in July because it was
02:33too expensive to run, but now Adam Peaty has taken to social media to see how important
02:38local swimming facilities are. The leisure centre is now on the market, and replacing
02:42it with housing hasn't been ruled out. Here's the message from the Golden Medalist himself.
02:47I was saddened to hear the closure of the Folkestone Sports Centre and the loss of the
02:51swimming pool to the hundreds of swimmers throughout the area. As the Olympics this
02:55summer demonstrated, swimming is a sport that can inspire millions. If it wasn't for the
03:00local swimming pools across the country, none of us in Team GB would have been able to fulfil
03:05our dream. It is the opportunities at the beginning that produces the results at the
03:09end. Swimming is a sport that provides for your mental and physical wellbeing, as well
03:15as being a vital skill in keeping people of all ages safe in the water. It is a sport
03:19that is enjoyed by every generation, and to see a pool close in a coastal town is especially
03:26saddening. I hope that you can join me in supporting the fight to reopen Folkestone
03:30Sports Centre, and ensuring that
