Poppy Branch, Bex Goodwin, Courtney Harvey, Jasmine Leota, Steph Rukin, Becky Smith, Katie Dootson, Georgia Gray, Helen Harris, Emily John and Anneka Willis have all been selected in a strong 37-woman county training squad by coach Max Melville-Brown in preparation for a tough group of games, starting at home to Surrey on April 28th.

This will be followed by another home game against East Midlands (May 5th) and then away to Sussex (May 12th).

Kent will be looking to improve on last season when they narrowly failed to progress into the semi-finals after finishing second in their group on points difference to Berkshire.
