ST CROSS SYMONDIANS CRICKETERS' CONTRACT EXTENSION

St Cross Symondians’ cricketer Adam Rouse has signed a contract extension with Kent, after impressing with the gloves and the bat since he joined the county as cover for England gloveman Sam Billings last season.   The Basingstoke-raised 24-year old hit a career-best 95 against Derbyshire last weekend.  But he  made only 12 in today’s Royal London Cup defeat by Hampshire, for whom former Academy left-hander Tom Alsop hit an unbeaten century.
