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
