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.
