Career
Kennet was the longest serving rider for the Canterbury Crusaders (speedway), riding from 1971 to 1984. In 1973 Kennet was runner-up to Peter Collins (speedway rider) in the British Under 21 Speedway Championship. The same year he became the most expensive Division Two rider in a transfer deal.
Despite this deal, Johnny Hoskins, boss of the Crusaders, wrote-in a loan-back clause, meaning that Canterbury Crusaders could still call on Kennet to ride for them.
