The Kent Salver is currently open to the first teams of club sides based in Kent that have been knocked out of the first round of the Kent Vase. The format is a knockout cup with a first round, semi-finals and a final, typically to be held at a pre-determined ground at the end of April on the same date and venue as the Cup, Shield, Vase and Plate finals.[1]
