Kimble Cricket Club 1907 - to present.
Kimble Cricket Club was originally
formed over one hundred years ago and the pitch to this day stands on
Marsh Road in Little Kimble, or Smoky Row as its otherwise known.
2007 Was Kimble Cricket Clubs Centenary
Year. In July of 2007 the Club held a Black Tie dinner and party at
the clubhouse to mark the Centenary in style. The evening included not
only a Grande marquee set up out on the outfield, but also there was
plenty of music, food and wine included for all. We had a live Jazz
band play at the event on through until the early hours of Sunday
morning, before some of us had to get up again to make it back out
onto the square... The event was a huge success and it was great to
see so many KCC players of past and present united together to mark
Kimble's finest Century.
Now sadly I'm not
quite old enough to have seen the formation of the club or to have
seen and recorded a lot of club history. Also of course in over one
hundred years many players and club members have been and gone, and of
course sadly many of them are no longer with us - this of course makes
tracking down the club history hard. However throughout 2009 I will be
compiling as much of the clubs history as I can, including photos,
match results, trophy awards and other memorable dates and memories.
So please check back here later on this year to find out some more
about one hell of a great little village cricket club. Roll on another
hundred years...
More Club History coming soon...
