KENT CALL UP FIVE

BACKS IN DEMAND
Five Canterbury players, including four of the back division, have been named in the Kent senior men’s squad who begin their defence of the English County Championship title against Hampshire at Havant rugby club on Saturday, May 18th.  There are first time call-ups for backs Will Waddington, Garry Jones, Presley Farrance and prop forward Cameron Macmillan. Joining them is wing Alfie Orris who was a member of the Kent side which defeated Lancashire at Twickenham in last season’s final.  Other Canterbury players who were part of that title winning side, the captain Jamie Stephens, Frank Reynolds and Danny Herriott, are taking a break from rugby after a long league season, while Tom Williams and Dave Irvine are ruled out through injury.   After the visit to Hampshire, Kent are at home to Cornwall on May 25th and Surrey on June 1st with both games played at Charlton Park Rugby Club. The Cornwall match kicks off at 2pm and the two other games at 3pm.
