Blidworth Bengals Under-7s won the Summer KickStart Festival — a group-based football tournament based on 2024/25 league results to ensure equal-ability matches.

They competed against teams from across Mansfield and Ashfield at Clipstone FC’s Lido Ground.

Head coach Matt Chamley, who is assisted by coach Luke Bishop, praised the youngsters for their performance and thanked sponsors, local firms — Tommee Tippee (Mayborn Group), Specsavers home visits, and A.K. Bryan Mould Engineers.
