 14/05/2013 : Swazi's loss is our gain!(posted by Bill Day)

SWAZILAND is not the most obvious place to breed an athlete of Olympian proportions. It has chronic poverty; life expectancy is just tipping 50; sickness is rife; and the average male eats less in a month than James Rodway consumes on a curry house binge.

Up until a year or two ago, the most important discovery to come out of this SE African kingdom was asbestos. A Swaziland athlete once won a Commonwealth Games medal; their football team is ranked nowhere by FIFA; and if you asked someone... (read more)

 14/04/2013 : What a night!(posted by Bill Day)

THANK you all for contributing to a wonderful evening last night. I started the day watching Harlequins v Bath and ended it getting towed out of a swamp by a tractor driven by Calendar pin-up, Mr February.

James Tredwell and Mark Davies were lovely guests. A big-thank you to the Kent boys for posing for pictures; signing autographs; kissing babies; and generally proving that the modern professional cricketer is a thoroughly good egg untouched by celebrity.

How lucky we were to see so many... (read more)

Superb Colts; wonderful players; fantastic volunteers; generous local traders; brilliant weather; lots of adreneline; loads of jobs completed and good food devoured. What more can be said about day two of the Nat West Cricketforce weekend?

Except to thank everyone that attended and carried out tasks that they never thought they would be able to do.

If you were not there then you missed out!

Maybe next year you will be there and you will enjoy it as much as we all did this year.

 06/04/2013 : Cricketforce Fantastic(posted by Mrs Fraser)

What a day!

38 volunteers and 10 KCB staff and members attended, supported and assisted throughout the day. Some stayed just an hour, some stayed all day and some intended to stay an hour and kept saying "I must go in a minute.....and then promptly stayed for three or four more hours" loving every minute of an adreneline fuelled day.

Everyone said how much they enjoyed the day. Maybe it was the sunshine; the free Cricketforce T Shirt or the camaraderie; maybe it was the donated... (read more)
