Kent School - American Football

Prepping the UK for American Football

The Patriots aren't the only New England team heading across the Atlantic Ocean to spread the word of the American football to sports fans in the UK. One the eve of the Patriots clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Wembley Stadium, the varsity football team of the Kent School in Kent, Conn., will line up against local opposition in Bristol, a city two hours to the west of London."

A perfect description of our visit to Bath (Bristol.) This article is a fantastic summary of the cold, blustery and perfect day for American football.


TJ visited with his former advisor, we laughed at the English accents trying to follow the game, and Susan, James, Kona and Ian helped us cheer the Kent School on to victory.



There was a very sweet half-time performance by local cheerleaders and even a vendor selling pads, and helmets to anyone looking to take up the sport.

The game was followed by the Patriots game in London as American football tries to infiltrate a country that already loves its footy.
