Leicester Mercury 2 June Whitsuntide.
Their was a large influx of visitors for the annual feast, the business for
several days was demolished entirely, or
suspended, except for the Publicans. The Cricket Club also selected Monday for trying their
strength with a Leicester Club, and the Team, although playing in a very plucky manner,
contrived to come off “second best”, but to their credit, be it said, they
appear by no means disappointed
by the result of the contest, but seem rather inclined to fresh efforts, and
renewed exertions
thereby. There is apparently a considered deal of latent talent in the Kibworth
Club, and practice
and perseverance will doubtless ere long, so develop that talent as to bring
again to Kibworth its
justly earned, though now long lost prestige for the cricket, again render it
what it once was - namely, a formidable opponent
for any Village in the County.
