Kent Kings bring down the curtain on the 2024 speedway season by hosting a first-ever international fixture at the Old Gun Site in Iwade.

It comes in the form of a NORA representative match between England and Australia tomorrow (Sunday). Gates open at midday, tapes up is at 2pm.

Five Kings riders are in action across the two sides.

Newly-crowned NORA 500cc GB champion Ben Morley captains the England team, joined by his club skipper Rhys Naylor and former GB under-19 rostrum man Jack Kingston.

The Australian side are spearheaded by the two riders who’ve proved popular additions to the Kent ranks in recent weeks, Dayle Wood - who will skipper the visitors - and 2023 FIM Oceania Championship semi-finalist Patrick Hamilton.

Completing the line-up for England is Jacob Clouting - who’s been hugely impressive in appearances at the Old Gun Site this term) - and for Australia, 2024 newcomer to British speedway Senna Summers and the experienced Matt Marson.

Joined by track reserves, Kent stalwarts Sam Woods and Nathan Hargrave, the 10 riders will also compete in an individual event for the 2024 Kent Supporters Trophy, with £250 up for grabs for the winner and cash prizes for the other finalists.

“Of the top 10 most poisonous creatures on the planet, all 10 of them live in Australia,” said Kent promoter Steve Ribbons.

“Consequently, the people that live there are not only brave but also optimistic souls, whose welcoming smiles hide a steely determination which leads me to Dayle, Patrick and their fellow countrymen who are massively up for this one on Sunday.

“But our England riders are as raring to go as the Lions of their nickname and this is sure to be a classic.”

The action will be followed by Kent’s end-of-the-season awards presentation.
