Kent open up with trip to champions

KENT face the toughest of starts to next summer’s four-day campaign with home and away fixtures against reigning champions Sussex inside the opening fortnight of the season.

The provisional first-class fixtures have Rob Key’s side opening their 2007 matches with a trip to Hove from Wednesday, April 18. Sussex then travel to Canterbury for the re-match starting on Wednesday, May 2.

Other championship highlights include a visit to Whitgift School to take on Surrey at the end of May. Surrey also provide the opposition for Canterbury Cricket Week, which starts on Wednesday, August 8.

Kent’s new county ground in Beckenham will host two of the eight Twenty20 qualifiers on Monday, July 2, and Wednesday, July 4, when Surrey and Middlesex travel.
