Feels worth saying that Matt Milnes, in his last game for

He didn't get as many wickets this season, but he always gave his all for Kent and played a big part over four seasons.
Good luck at Yorkshire mate.

Darren Stevens’ genius aside, massive credit to the
@KentCricket
boys for turning things around.
Started the competition slowly, but they’ve won five in a row to reach the final.
Joe Denly, who missed the first few games with a back issue, has skippered the team brilliantly.
Possibly the best midfield display I’ve ever seen while on a yellow card tonight from Cheick Doucouré. And I’ve watched a lot of Stuart O’Keefe.

Super charming bloke and an absolute legend of the game. Very sad news.
The away fans refusing to leave the CBS Arena, despite the 5-0 defeat here at Coventry City. So much pride in their team.
Stones showed such heart in the second-half too, refused to cave in.
Such a credit to Kent football, what a journey it’s been for

Darren Stevens in the 2021 County Championship...
With the bat: 566 runs @ 47.16, 3 100s, HS: 190
With the ball: 29 wickets @ 20.48, 2 five-fors, BBI: 5-53
Those hundreds have come off 120, 92 and 70 balls.
#CountyCricket2021
Ridiculous knock.
@KentCricket
looked almost completely out of it after losing four wickets in the powerplay, chasing nearly 200.
He hit the ball so cleanly, took calculated risks, ran well, targeted the short boundary, stayed so calm.
Well played

Sad that Ollie Robinson is leaving Kent (for now). Super guy, top player. Glad he’ll get a proper send-off this week at Canterbury.
Brilliant signing for Durham, imo he’s good enough to get in any county side. Lovely gloveman & kicked on in white-ball this summer.

This is why I’m unhappy about the sacking.
Vieira took the job when nobody wanted it. He did a brilliant job last season.
Yes 2023’s been bad, but fixtures have been tough.
The board didn’t back him sufficiently in the summer or January.
They’ve hit the panic button.
#CPFC
I think the overriding sense of sadness amongst Palace fans speaks volumes for how we felt about Patrick and the new lease of life that he gave us last season.
Let’s be clear - he made mistakes, but the people above him also need to take a long, hard look at themselves.
#CPFC
Up until this point, we’d seen flashes of quality from Connor Mahoney.
Little clever touches, a brilliant cross or set-piece delivery, plus a strong display in the EFL Trophy.
This will surely be a key moment for him in a
#Gills
shirt. Some goal. 👌
No
@KentCricket
involvement in the England Lions squad feels like an oversight imo, especially considering Matt Milnes & Ollie Robinson (wk) were on the last tour and have both improved a lot since. 🏏

Kent. Wow. What a performance. Silenced the Chelmsford crowd, who clapped Joe Denly off the field after his utterly superb 76. Five wins from five. 👏 🏏

Speaking of classy, Gibbs-White in midfield for Wolves 👀.
Seen a few highlights of him now...looks so comfortable on the ball, lovely passer, great vision. Boy can really play.

Sensational display from

tonight.
Excellent from Crawley, Kuhn & Finch with the bat.
Almost faultless bowling display, great figures for Hooper, seamers Quinn, Podmore & Sharif spot on.
Credit to Paul Downton too for getting that XI out on the park.

Shame to see Steve Evans leave

Despite his reputation, he was always willing to do interviews with the media and answer any questions.
Two 10th-place finishes in League One had
@TheGillsFC
fans dreaming of play-offs again, but sadly hit hard by injuries this campaign.
Joe Denly is a brilliant fielder, regardless of that drop. Goes to show it can happen even to the very best, not just the guy you try to hide at mid-on or fine leg in a village game.

Neil Harris quote after the game today: “Well, that’s not going to help me manage expectations is it?”
Judging from
#Gills
fans on here tonight, he’s not wrong. 😅😂
"Lucrative" and "aggressive" transfer window sounds like music to
#Gills
fans' ears.
Likewise for manager Neil Harris, who told me yesterday he wants "different and more options in certain positions".
Feels safe to assume he's after players to boost
@TheGillsFC
's goal tally.
Fantastic signing. Feels like a coup for the new owner and his ambitions to bring Masterson back despite
#Gills
lowly league position. Especially after his impressive displays in L1 last season. Relationship with Harris a key factor in his return perhaps?

#bbcfootball
This is what I know on Scott Malone btw.
He’s been training with

Club have confirmed today he’s in Como with the squad.
Been told he’s still just on trial though, nothing signed.
Good news,

all-rounder Darren Stevens’ calf injury isn’t going to end his season.
“Following an assessment & scan, he is expected to make a full recovery in the coming weeks.”

Equalised to draw 1-1 for the sixth time in their last eight matches in all comps.
Won their third penalty shootout this season, all without missing a kick.
Knocked a Premier League club out of the EFL Cup.
Worth noting that in the second-half at Priestfield last night,

defended brilliantly at Rochdale today, Glenn Morris has been superb in recent weeks.
Both goals were the type of finishes that comes from playing with a confidence the team was lacking prior to Christmas.
Classy Nicholls x Lapslie combination for the 2nd. 👏
