Kent Sport invites spectators to enjoy this year\u2019s Mike Wilkins Charity Trophy at 17:30, 29 May 2013 at Kent Sport\u2019s 3G pitch at the Pavilion.<\/p>\n

2013\u2019s match will be the seventh installment of this annual event and sees the elite of university football (Kent F.C’s 1st XI) pitted against the best players from the campus-based Inter College Football League in a one-off exhibition game.

This charity-driven exhibition game aims to highlight the outstanding contribution former Director of Sport Mike Wilkins made to sport, and in particular football during his 36 year tenure at the University of Kent.

He was also responsible for the development of the Inter College Football league and secured the 3G artificial surface which is used by staff and students at Kent on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

2012 \u2013 Kent FC 4-1
\n2011 \u2013 Kent FC 1-1 (Kent won on penalties 5-4)
\n2010 \u2013 College Elect 1-0

\n2008 \u2013 Kent FC 3-3 (Kent won 4-3 on penalties)
\n2007 \u2013 Kent FC 0-0 (Kent won on penalties)<\/em><\/p>\n
