Erith Town Community Scheme, the community arm of Erith Town F.C., held its first ever free coaching day at King Henry School, Erith on Friday 31st May.

Football club chairman, Mark Deveney said “We were genuinely overwhelmed with the response with 105 children taking part.

“Interestingly there were 38 girls in attendance, which bodes well for local girls football.”

Blackburn Rovers, and former Gillingham star, Bradley Dack was on hand to present the medals and trophies that were supplied by Supreme Engraving and water bottles, which were kindly provided by the Erith Group.

Due to the success of the day they are planning to hold half term and summer term courses at the School.
