KIBWORTH CRICKET CLUB - 1882 Season

  

Played  18    Won  10     Lost  7    Drawn  1

Leicester Chronicle           15 Apr    The cricket prospect in the village is at present gloomy, for although arrangements are made for a number of matches, no playground is available on terms, which the committee deem it advisable to except.

 
Leicester Chronicle           6 May    KCC. The old cricket ground has at length been secured, and the prospect for the season much heightened. The following are the office bearers; Captain, Mr. A. H. Richardson; secretary, Mr. A. Loveday; treasurer, J. G. Garratt; committee, Messer's F. Loveday; T. Mason; W. Richardson; F. Austin; F. Stevenson; J. Grant and Foston. Arrangements have been made for a number of matches, and the club will soon be in a good working order, but the ground being taken on higher terms than formerly, it is hoped that the subscriptions will increase in a corresponding ratio.

Leicester Chronicle         21 Oct    The Cricket Club.-  A number of ladies and gentlemen of the village have undertaken to give a dramatic entertainment in the Village Hall on Thursday and Friday evenings, in aid of the above. The performers having acquired a good stage reputation , and the cricket club needing pecuniary support, the entertainment will, it is to be hoped, receive all the patronage it deserves.

Leicester Chronicle         21 Oct    Cricketers' Dinner. – The members of the KCC and a member of friends dined together at the Rose & Crown on Friday evening, reported in the paper on October 21, 1882.

 

Northampton Mercury    4 Nov    Histrionic Entertainment.—The Amateur Dramatic Society gave entertainment on the evenings of the 26th and 27th October, at the Village Hall. The proceeds were given to the Cricket Club, and a good sum was realised, as every seat was occupied on the final night, and many could not gain admittance. The pieces selected were the comic drama, "Good for Nothing," and the farce, Boots at the Swan." Both pieces were well acted, and the performers were frequently applauded.
