Kent Invicta is a defunct rugby league team that were based in Maidstone and later Southend.
Kent Invicta were formed by Paul Faires and were admitted to the Rugby League on 6 April 1983. They played their first game at London Road, Maidstone, a ground they shared with Maidstone United and a greyhound company. Their first game was against Cardiff City Blue Dragons, they lost 31-12 before a crowd of 1,815.
The record attendance was 2,107 against St. Helens on 6 November 1983, by which time the club was bankrupt and the reins were taken over by Jim Thompson, the chairman of the soccer club. The last game at Maidstone was on 12 May 1984 against Rochdale Hornets, which they won 32-12 before 412 spectators. Problems with ground sharing and wear of the soccer pitch resulted in the club having to move away from London Road, which today is an MFI superstore.
Southend United Football Club then approached Invicta and in late 1984 became Southend Invicta but after the final home game against Huddersfield where there were a mere 85 fans the club director, Matt Wheatcroft admitted the club was in an extremely precarious position. Invicta were struck from the 1985-86 fixtures by the Rugby Football League only days before the commencement of the new season because they were considered not to have formed a team. They went into liquidation soon afterwards.
