Triple promotion celebration at KHC's annual beer and cheese evening.

Heady days
- Tony, Club President and KHC Legend

These are heady days at Kettering as the Ladies 2nd team clinched the Northants Div 1 title with a nervy 2-1 win against Earls Barton. The Mens 2nds came from 3-0 down to snatch teh point they needed to be crowned Div 5NW Champions and the Mens 1st team coolly dispatched title challengers March 5-1 to claim a promotion spot to move into Div 2N. They still have a chance to seal teh title with a win against mid table Cambridge Vets on Tuesday 3rd April at Kimbolton School.
The beer was flowing (as was some of the riper cheeses) as what is now the traditional end of season (although affected this year by not really knowing when the end of season would ever arrive) Beer Barrel and Cheese Evening took centre stage. Much fizzy stuff in popping bottles was consumed by the Ladies 2s who also provided a rather excellent Port for elder gentleman players ( thanks Sue).
It will have been many years, if ever, that three teams have been promoted in the same year.
Many thanks to all concerned over the season umpiring and generally helping out. A big shout out especially to anyone who has been involved in Junior Development. The standard and quantity of our junior players is really setting us apart from other clubs.
Pre season starts on teh 4th April!!
