We Are Kent

[We Are Kent @Spitfire_Dan]

It’s been difficult to get to Kent games this summer due to work (welcome to the real world), but to make it to Worcester for that remarkable semi-final win, and to see Canterbury come alive last night, is something I’ll always be grateful for. #WeAreKent

[We Are Kent @Spitfire_Dan]

This is a considered judgement at the end of an abject season: I think this is the worst first-class side I’ve ever seen at Kent.

The 2025 season concludes as Derbyshire win by an innings and 229 runs.

Quite a promising start to the match has given way to a spectacular subsidence. If we can barely survive 20 overs in the 4th innings I’m not sure we can survive in this division at all… #WeAreKent

[We Are Kent @Spitfire_Dan]

This is going to be a wild ride!

📝 Arshdeep Singh makes his final Kent appearance.

Tawanda Muyeye has failed a fitness test this morning - Toby Albert will open the batting with Ben Compton, with Ben Geddes also making his Kent debut.

Alex Blake makes his first Championship appearance since 2019

[We Are Kent @Spitfire_Dan]

Well I think Roy Hodgson sums up that performance best…

[We Are Kent @Spitfire_Dan]

Kent nailed it in a must-win game 💥
Set things up on day one with a great bowling performance, Muyeye and DBD hammered the advantage home, and Denly wheeled away for a day to seal it! Well played Kent.

@CountyChamp Thank you kindly for prising him out for us

[We Are Kent @Spitfire_Dan]

Following the social media feeds is quite amusing. A nice video clip (“great shot by so and so”) followed by a sudden “but we’re all out for 95” a moment later.

[We Are Kent @Spitfire_Dan]

Kent are no strangers to a bad day at the office, but 95 all out plays 89/0 — with a session washed out in the middle — is surely up there amongst the very worst we’ve seen.

[We Are Kent @Spitfire_Dan]

This is so bleak

Darren bloody Stevens... 🦸🏼‍♂️

[We Are Kent @Spitfire_Dan]

Twice the hero, twice the celebration 🦸🏼‍♂️

[We Are Kent @Spitfire_Dan]

He won us the Twenty20 Cup in 2007, too.

[We Are Kent @Spitfire_Dan]

We all knew this day would come, but it doesn’t make it any easier. A phenomenal servant to the county and someone who has given us all wonderful memories in that Kent shirt. All the best Stevo.

[Kent Cricket @KentCricket]

After 17 years, Darren Stevens' Kent career will finish at the end of the season

🐐 https://t.co/b3nUehbkq6

[We Are Kent @Spitfire_Dan]

Another golden memory was that match-winning double hundred against Lancashire in 2014, with a potential career-ending ban heading his way. Stevo has done more in the eight years since that than many manage in an entire career.

[Ben Croucher @BCroucherSport]

End of an era. Many a happy day in Canterbury watching
@Stevo208 spray it to all corners. That double century v Lancs in 2013 when it may have been his last game, a 44-ball ton v Sussex and generally just being a decent bloke. Hell of a player

Yesterday’s scorecard:

[We Are Kent @Spitfire_Dan]

There was no chance I’d miss Kent’s solitary outground visit of the season… Woolpit Cricket Club are fine hosts for this NCCA Showcase Game between Suffolk and Kent.

[We Are Kent @Spitfire_Dan]

Suffolk’s batting had the enterprise but lacked the explosion, so Kent end up comfortable winners by the sizeable margin of 140 runs. Great to see so many enjoying a day at the cricket in this corner of England.
