Leicester Chronicle         7 Jan 1893     A cricket match came off on Saddington Reservoir on Saturday afternoon, December 31, 1892. Teams representing the respective cricket clubs of Saddington and Kibworth, two villages just outside Market Harborough, ou Tuesday met in an extremely novel encounter on Saddington Reservoir, and an amusing cricket match on the ice ended in a draw. The match was played on skates, and, the ice being in splendid condition, the "leather hunting" was very considerable, and many " boundaries " were scored.
