Congratulations to all winners at Cricket Presentation

Congratulations to all winners at the recent cricket Presentation Evening particularly the Women’s team for their League triumph!!

Cricket season finally came to an end with the Presentation evening at the Farriers during November.

60 members and guests crammed into the Forge to celebrate a relatively successful for all teams, it was great to see so many of the youngsters and women’s team present to enjoy each others success.

The Sunday XI came 6th in their KVL division after a frustrating season with several cancelled fixtures.

The Saturday 2nd XI avoided relegation with a strong showing in the last few matches and the 1st XI finished in 5th place in the Championship East winning 9 out of 16 including the double over local rivals Wye.

The Women’s team was the undoubted success of the season, despite several trips to the casualty wards of various hospitals in the county. The women had a great first season playing league cricket winning the new Kent Cricket T20 Development League at the very first attempt, with fantastic results against some much more established clubs along the way, with just the 1 defeat all season. Congratulations to the Ladies on their triumph!

This year to go along with the traditional Batting, Bowling and Player’s Player Awards we re-introduced the fielding award for each team, in an attempt to promote the importance of this part of the game. We also brought in a Captains award, for them to present to a player of their choosing for their efforts for the team. List of individual winners;
