Kwan Browne says Canterbury can spring a surprise at the National Indoor Championships at Wembley Arena on Sunday afternoon.

The city club superbly topped the table in the Maxifuel Super Sixes group stage and now face reigning champions East Grinstead in the last-four with a place in the final against Beeston or Reading later the same day at stake.

Player-coach Kwan Browne (pictured) said: "The club has enjoyed success a long time ago but we have got back to this point because of hard work and extra training sessions.

"It should be a great occasion with a lot of supporters travelling up there."

East Grinstead’s squad is full of TeamGB Olympians, including Kent’s own Ashley Jackson, one of the world’s top finishers, and Browne admitted: "East Grinstead have nine senior internationals and six Olympians whereas we are a group of local lads but that gives us an edge.

"They have probably got too many quality players and with so many big names they might tend to dwell on the ball a bit longer, which suits the way we play.

"We will just concentrate on our game and won’t change the way we play because of who we’re playing.

"We have Ben Allberry who scored 22 goals in the league and in Devohn Teixeria we have a player who comes up with more steals than anyone."
