Junior football club Vinters FC are celebrating after winning 15 tickets to England v Switzerland at Wembley in September.

They entered a competition run by Kent FA and Kent Reliance inviting clubs to submit pictures encapsulating team spirit.

Vinters' picture, showing their development squad ahead of their first game, was taken by joint vice-chairman Sarah Waite.

Robert Gurr, communications manager at Kent Reliance, said: "The range of images we received illustrates how many people love football in the county.

"The sport is clearly thriving in Kent which made the selection process even harder.

"We picked Sarah’s entry because we felt the image showed their team spirit, given the momentous occasion the photo captured of the young boys and girls playing their first game together.

"It was clearly a very special moment and we are delighted to be able to offer that young team the chance to make some more memories together at Wembley."
