PREVIEW: KENT v EASTBOURNE (KOC)

KENT and Eastbourne race their KO Cup tie to a finish at Central Park tonight (Tuesday) with the Eagles holding a 26-point lead from the first leg.

The Kings bring in Kyle Howarth to guest for the injured Cameron Heeps, and continue with the rider-replacement facility for Tom Bacon.

The Eagles are at full strength, and boss Trevor Geer said: “I would be very, very disappointed if we don’t go through.

“Traditionally, Eastbourne always do well in the Cup, and it will be great to get a run going. We will have Drew Kemp back, and he goes well there.”

KENT: Scott Nicholls, Tom Bacon R/R, Paul Starke, Paul Hurry, Kyle Howarth, Ben Morley, Dan Gilkes.
EASTBOURNE: Richard Lawson, Kyle Newman, Edward Kennett, Tom Brennan, Lewis Kerr, Jason Edwards, Drew Kemp.
