Sports in Kenilworth

Kenilworth Sporting's promotion to the Midland Football League Division Two has been officially confirmed today.

Sporting, who re-entered the league for the 2019-20 season, sat top of division three when all competitive fixtures were curtailed in February.

Kenilworth Wardens secured a 3-1 victory over Central Ajax Reserves today courtesy of a brace by Guy Pearson.

Ajax hosted Wardens at their Hampton Road ground in today's friendly which was perhaps more notable for the weather conditions rather than the quality of football on display.

A disciplined and organised Kenilworth Wardens display saw them take a 2-0 away win against Triumph Athletic Reserves tonight.

The Wardens' first team backed up their 8-1 win over Christ the King III last time out with a far more pragmatic, but no less efficient display against Triumph today.

Kenilworth Wardens Reserves won their second game in a row by beating Coundon Court 1-0 in a tight game on a terrible pitch today.

The two games were separated by a five month gap.

Kenilworth Wardens firsts ran out 8-1 winners away to Christ the King III's today (April 17) in the second game of their mini-league series.

Wardens were edged out in a tight 3-2 defeat to Folly Lane Reserves last week, and were looking for a big result as they travelled away this weekend.

Kenilworth Wardens played their first game in over four months today (April 10) as they took to the pitch for the first game in a mini-league series with Folly Lane Reserves, Triumph Athletic Reserves and Christ the King Thirds.

The first instalment say the Wardens line up against Coventry Alliance Division One leaders, and favourites Folly Lane Reserves. The reserves routinely win said division, not being promoted due only to their firsts being in the premier division.

A Kenilworth-based sports coach has announced an easter football camp for children following the announcement that organised sports can return from March 29.

DF Sports Coaching is to hold nine days of football camps across two weeks this April, from Kenilworth Wardens Cricket Club on Glasshouse Lane.

Kenilworth Sporting FC has announced this weekend that they will be investing in two new sides for the 2021-22 season; a reserves and a youth side.

This weekend's announcement comes as a further marker of progress for the club that was only reinstated for this season under their new owner Geoff Harris.

With the announcement on Monday (November 23) that the second national lockdown will end at the beginning of December as planned, grassroots football will once again be able to return to Kenilworth.

Furthermore, it has been announced that spectators are due to be allowed at outdoor sporting events. In Tier One - which Kenilworth was in before the second lockdown - up to 4,000 fans will be allowed to attend outdoor matches.

As the second national lockdown ended this week Kenilworth Wardens FC finished their lockdown running competition with over 1,500 miles covered between then.

Whilst not allowed on the pitch during November, the men's football team at Kenilworth Wardens kept on top of their physical and mental sharpness by hosting a virtual running competition across the four weeks of the lockdown.
