The Leicestershire Tennis Awards took place at the Leicester Tigers Ground on Monday 10 February. Awards were presented to teams who won or came 2nd in the Leicestershire 2024 Summer and Winter Leagues. 

Established in 1885 our club continues to thrive with a growing number of men, women and junior members.

As winter fades and the first hints of spring fill the air, golf enthusiasts know what that means - it’s time to dust off the clubs, hit the greens, and embrace the fresh new season! Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or just starting out, this is the perfect time to gear up and make the most of everything Kibworth Golf Club has to offer.

The Fleckney Spinners are spinning merrily into the new year with full houses for the coaching evenings on Mondays. 6.45pm beginners, 7.20pm improvers and free play until 9pm.

Fleckney & Kibworth Running Club are holding a Leicestershire Road Running League Event.

For the third consecutive year, Leicestershire County Cricket Club will host one of their Metro Bank One Day Cup matches at the wonderful Kibworth Cricket ground.

The Club has begun the new bowling year with our annual visit to Potters Resort, Hopton-on-Sea, where the World Indoor Bowls Championships were taking place. As always, we were really impressed by the bowling skills demonstrated by the players and hope to be as good one day! We thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and were able to partake in a wide range of other activities, including snooker, swimming, quizzes and line dancing. The evening entertainment was first class and the food plentiful.

After Harborough Town’s FA Cup victory vs Tonbridge, Leonard, a Kibworth Primary School pupil, declared that, “I’m going to get a ‘pick in the box’ at school for really good reading.” A ‘pick in the box’ is a box of treats pupils at Leonard’s school are rewarded with  for very good work. Leonard continued, “I’m going to pick a trophy and give it to the Harborough Town keeper at the Reading match, to say well done for doing really well.” True to Leonard’s word, a few days later he returned home with the trophy he’d selected, which he’d earned for very good reading.
