Stamford Mercury - Friday 10 September 1875
The Leicester Chronicle 11Sep The old
cricket club, when in its polemist day, was considered able to cope
successfully with nearly any
club in the county, in as much as it once passed through an entire season
without the loss of a single
match. The present club, although yet in its babyhood, and in many respects
much less pretentious
than the one long since defunct, has already proved itself a sturdy opponent
for several stronger
clubs, and the Kibworth players, though having engaged in many contests this
season, and numbering
amongst them the Mkt. Harborough and Billesdon clubs, have not at present
sustained a single
defeat. Thus the existing club appears in a fair way for gaining the prestige
so legitimately earned by its
predecessor.
