The Leicester Chronicle 26 Apr This village has been unashamedly famous for its cricket, and a club, which was formed some years ago, has gone through a whole season and scarcely lost a single game. It was with this club that the Teear’s [of the R&C] were so unashamedly associated, and to whose indomitable assertion and skilled play it owed no small measure of its success. Even those formidable opponents, the Harborian - with the ugly "slow" and noted tactics of their doughty captain - were not infrequently vanquished by the Kibworth team, while the "heking" given to the allied forces of several villagers was proverbial. A want of proper organisation and consequent discipline, has of late proved fatal to the Kibworth players, and crushing defeats has of late been the rule rather than the exception. An attempt is now being made to resuscitate the club, and there appears a desire to regain lost prestige. A preliminary meeting has already been held, which in a short time be succeeded by another, when it is expected "form and pressure" will be given to a society.
