There were 120 children from five Swanley primary schools in the tournament, which was won by Hextable Juniors in Rowhill Road.

Deputy mayor Councillor Barrie Wigg said: "The Make a Difference Day mini-football tournament was an attempt to provide enjoyable and energetic activities for young people.

"We enjoyed having football star Kenny Samson presenting the medals to the pupils.''
