FRANK BOOTS KENT TO VICTORY

Canterbury fly half Frank Reynolds contributed nineteen points to Kent’s 44-43 win over Hampshire in the first round of the County Championship.

He was one of five of the club’s players to appear in the Division One game at Havant with debutants Max Halliday, Tom Williams and Will McColl joining Royce Cadman in the Kent squad.

Frank’s points all came from the boot with five conversions and three penalty goals, the last of which sealed victory three minutes from the end.

Kent were scheduled to meet Surrey in their second game on May 21st only to learn that Surrey have withdrawn from the competition. Depending on other results the county side could still appear in the Twickenham final on June 4th.
