As hopefully you have already read, hosting Leicestershire v Essex has been the focus of the committee at KCC and we again thank all volunteers who supported the day from people involved at the club for 50 years, through to those volunteering for the first time. We would also like to thank the wider community and hope there wasn’t too much disruption other than the hundreds of people at the bus stop!

Prizes were handed out to the more skilful and competitive teams.
