NEW records boards that give credit to great Kent players past and present have been unveiled at the county's headquarters in Canterbury.

The hand-crafted ash boards are the result of a legacy from Kent’s former honorary statistician Prof John Griffiths, who kept the club's records from 1951 before handing over the mantle to Howard Milton. He died in Texas in 2003.

The achievements of batsmen to make double hundreds and bowlers to take 10 wickets in a match can now be remembered forever at the St Lawrence Ground.

Kent president Derek Underwood presented the boards along with Prof Griffiths' widow, Joan Griffiths.

He said: "It's nice to have it up there for posterity.

"It's interesting to see in particular that I took 10 wickets in a match 38 times for Kent, exactly the same as Doug Wright did, who was an idol of mine when I was a young man."

Current Kent opening batsman and former skipper David Fulton appears on the boards twice and is proud to be in glamorous company.

He said: "It's nice to see that you left some kind of mark on the game. Hopefully that's in people's minds and hearts, but if it's on the board as well then they can't take that away from you.

"It's nice to be up there and up there with some pretty formidable names and cricketers from the past as well."
