London & South East Regional Festival

The London & South East Regional Festival took place on 23 March 2025 at Shirley High School, Surrey, to showcase the Performance Academy talent in Essex Met, Kent, Middlesex & Surrey.  Middlesex had a clean sweep, winning both the U13 and U15 groups. 

​The U15s played Surrey in the final and dominated the match with Surrey only scoring one goal in the second half.  The U13s had strong performances in their respective groups and came through the semi-finals for a Middlesex North v Middlesex West final.  Middlesex West won overall, but it was a fantastic success for Middlesex to win both age groups.
