Cricket career

Kemp began playing in Brisbane Grade Cricket in 5th Grade when he was fourteen for Easts-Redlands District Cricket Club, who he eventually captained, and he played for Queensland junior sides from Under-15's to Under-19's. [2] He received a rookie deal with Queensland ahead of the 2009/10 season, [3] which he retained for the next two seasons, [4] [5] playing First-class cricket in the 2011/12 season in which Queensland won the Sheffield Shield. [6] He scored 59 runs at an average of 14.75 in his three games. [7]

Kemp was named a Brisbane Heat supplementary player for the 2012/13 Big Bash League, [8] but he was delisted by Queensland prior to the 2012/13 season. [9] In September 2012 he was recalled by the State due to a strong performance in a Futures League 2nd XI game, [10] and he played three First-class games before the end of 2012 scoring 76 runs at an average of 15.20. [11] In May 2013 he received a full Queensland State contract, [12] and in August 2013 he was named a supplementary player for the Brisbane Heat in the Champion's League Trophy. [13] He was selected in one game for the Heat during the Champion's League, [14] however the match was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain. [15]

Kemp's Queensland contract was not renewed in 2014, [16] and he moved to New South Wales where he joined the Randwick-Petersham club in Sydney Grade cricket during the 2014/15 season and scored 1000 1st Grade runs for the club during the remainder of the season and the 2015/16 season. He was appointed Captain of the club ahead of the 2016/17 season but handed over the Captaincy a few games into the 2017/18 season due to a loss in form. [17]

In 2017 Kemp spent three months as a Cricket New South Wales ACA intern as a Pathway Coach and was then appointed as a youth pathway coach responsible for assisting elite young players in Metropolitan North East for Cricket New South Wales. [18] In 2019 he served as assistant coach for the ACT/NSW Country Comets side, [19] and as of 2020 he was working for Cricket NSW as a Coach and Talent Specialist responsible for developing coaches and players.
