Thanks to all things Covid it has been a truncated Cricket season for Fleckney Village Cricket Club. Both Saturday sides played in the Covid Cup Mini League and our Midweek and Sunday sides playing a host of friendlies.

It’s farewell to cricket after the strangest of seasons and it is absolutely appropriate to say a huge thank you to all of our players, coaches, ground staff, cleaners, bar staff, volunteers, committee members, members, sponsors and parents.

No stranger to long-distance fell running, Sam Pole has undertaken his biggest challenge yet, tackling the 268 miles of the Pennine Way.

 Due to COVID-19 restrictions, all of the major board honours and regular annual trophy competitions at the club were cancelled for the year.

In an unusual year, Edmonds & Slatter Opticians were very pleased to have been able to hold their annual charity golf day this September in aid of local charity, The Bodie Hodges Foundation.

The Mini/Junior Team Tennis Events started in October 2019 and finished at the end of August.

It seems a long time since we hosted what turned out to be the last Leicestershire Road Running League Event, the Kibworth 6, early in March!

John Robert Gilson (Bob) passed away on the 5 August after a relatively short illness. He is survived by his wife Gloria and many friends made at Kibworth Cricket Club.

Kibworth Velo Club continues to grow - we’ve added another eight riders to our club from Kibworth and surrounding villages.
