Kent Cricket have announced that arrangements have been made to celebrate the Kent career of Darren Stevens on Day Two of Kent’s LV=Insurance County Championship match with Somerset on Tuesday 27th September.

Stevens, who unfortunately picked up a groin injury in the Royal London Cup victory at Trent Bridge & will not be available for selection, will be joining family, friends, Members & supporters to mark the end of his 17-year playing career with Kent.

In the Lunch break, Darren will be welcomed to the out-field for an interview & special Club presentation.

Throughout Days One & Two of the fixture, a special ‘Stevo Day’ celebratory book will be placed inside the Kent Cricket Shop for Kent Members & supporters to write down their favourite Darren Stevens memories.

The Royal London Cup will also be on display in the Kent Cricket shop throughout the match.

Matchday tickets on Tuesday 27 September will be at the specially reduced price of £10 for Adults (in advance & on the gate) to allow as many supporters to attend & show their appreciation. Members & children under-16 will be admitted free.

Anyone who has already brought a match day ticket at the higher price will be automatically credited the difference to their Kent Cricket Ticket Account.

Kent Cricket’s Chair, Simon Philip, said: “Darren has been a truly outstanding servant of the Club for seventeen Summers.

“It is fitting that we mark his contribution in the company of our members and supporters, and we are looking forward to welcoming as many as possible to The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence on what promises to be a special day.”
