Pumas prowl towards match

Maidstone’s own American Football team have been limbering up ahead of a new season.

The Maidstone Pumas held a joint training session with the Kent Exiles at the team’s home ground - the playing fields of the New Line Learning Academy in Boughton Lane, Maidstone.

The Pumas were formed in 1987 and are to take on the East Essex Sabres in their first match on Sunday, April 15, with a 2.30pm kick-off.

The game is at home at New Line Learning.

The club is keen to recruit more members, both players and game day help. If you can get involved visit their Facebook page for details: www. facebook. com/ MaidstonePumasAFC/
