Betteshanger Indoor BC will carry the hopes of the county on their shoulders when Kent take on Hampshire in the Liberty Trophy.

Bettes’ players feature heavily in the squad, with Arthur McCaughan, Lee Herron, Roger Kendrick, Jamie Dunn, Marc McCaughan, David Ferguson, Shaun McCaughan and Chris Fox all keeping their places while there are recalls for Pat Briscoe, Joe Kelly and Simon Green. Kieran Moss and Scott Whiting are the two reserves.

In the county under-25 double rink, Kelly, Fox and Moss were part of the eight-man team that beat Hampshire at the weekend to set up a clash with Essex or Middlesex.
