KENT cricket supporters can watch a hat-trick of Spitfires’ games in as many weeks next summer following the release of Sky Sports cricket schedules for 2006.

The satellite broadcasters will show at least 47 matches next summer with each county promised a minimum of three live appearances in front of the cameras.

Kent’s first showing comes in July with coverage of the National League away game against Surrey at Guildford on July, 23 followed by the day-night clash with Somerset in Taunton on July 26.

The Spitfires will also be in action at home on August 9 when Leicestershire Foxes will be the visitors to St Lawrence for a floodlit, 40-over league fixture.
