Cricket is in full swing at Fleckney with both Saturday sides in action, but we focus this month on our Sunday side and our Women’s Softballers.

It's been a busy few weeks for the Easy Riders. We had the most successful of days with the Duathlon along with the Kibworth & Fleckney Running Club raising over £500. Followed by our first Poker night at the Coach & Horses which raised £120. All the money raised is going towards our LOROS fund.

From March to the end of the season, the Spinners made progress yet again with great wins for Mike Wilson, Steve Reeve and Mike Miles against Desford Village’s second team whilst a valiant battle between our fourth team and Winstanley Wizards 5 resulted in a draw.

It’s been a busy few weeks for the club as we continue to enjoy the warmer weather and countryside for our regular club runs, and our members have been busy taking part in events around the county and beyond

As the football season draws to a close it’s time to reflect on another bumper year at Birds Barn and pick out some highlights, including three appearances in cup finals for our teams.

We have a thriving junior section here at KGC with two boys doing exceptionally well in recent tournaments.

The summer season is now under way and our South Leicestershire Triples’ League and Market Harborough League fixtures have commenced.

Swing into Spring at Kibworth Golf Club!

A very successful Couch to 5k program has now been completed. We had a great turnout at the Market Harborough parkrun on a lovely sunny Saturday morning.

The Leicestershire Summer League matches will be starting after the Easter Holidays for both children and adults. There are four men’s teams, three ladies teams, three mixed teams and five mini/junior teams taking part. The adults are currently having their weekly matchplay sessions and the children have their weekly tennis coaching sessions along with the Team Tennis events to get ready for the new season. Let’s hope it is a successful season for the club!

We continue to make progress in the Leicester League. Valuable experience against a great variety of players was gained by many, even if the match was lost.

Unfortunately, an advertising error has occurred in the March edition Issue 437 for the Kibworth Golf Club.

Kibworth Bowling Club members have enjoyed indoor carpet bowls over the winter months.

Last month we featured internationally renowned Creative Designer Harvey Gardiner from Kibworth Harcourt (read the full article here). He had submitted a design for a bronze statue of Agatha Christie for Torquay Harbour. Nearer to home, Harvey has also designed a large monument for Leicester Tigers (Rugby Football Club). The monument commemorates the 53 Leicester Tigers players that died in the Great Wars and the remaining 36 players currently known to have survived. 

It’s been ‘spring growth’ for the club with club members enjoying their outings with the Leicester League.
