Schedule 2006
2006 Schedule and Results
Please feel free to join us for the Gentlemen’s Game of Yesteryear…
The Kents and the Pioneers completed a bustling schedule this year as several new opponents and friendships were added to the schedule. To compete in the additional dates, several new faces were added to the Kent roster and, perhaps, a few slowly faded from view.
Nonetheless, another stellar season was turned in, continuing our tradition of gentlemanly competition.
We’ll look forward to seeing you out on the pitch next spring.
