Silver Salver

The Kent Silver Salver is a greyhound racing competition held annually at Central Park Stadium in Sittingbourne, Kent.

It was inaugurated as the Thames Silver Salver in 1933 at Southend Stadium but was discontinued following the closure of the stadium in 1985. However it was resurrected in 1988 by Canterbury. Once again the competition came to an end when Canterbury closed in 1999. In 2002 Sittingbourne brought back the competition in the new guise of the Kent Silver Salver.

After not being held from 2014-2016 the race returned in 2017 and one year later reverted to the format of a sprint competition. In 2024, the distance changed to 277 metres.
