Dinner & Dance celebrates Success
Bapchild Cricket Club held their annual Dinner and Dance at the end of November. Over 90 people attended the evening where they enjoyed a three course meal followed by the presentation of the senior awards for the 2019 season. Awards were handed out for batting, bowling and fielding achievements as well as Young Player of the Year, All-rounder, Champagne Moment and Chairman’s. A new award was presented for Young Performance of the Year, the Kenny Hart Cup, and it was lovely that Jackie, Kenny’s wife, and her son Darren (who presented the award) and her Grandson was present. The final presentation of the evening went to 2nd Team Captain James Sutton who won Cricket of the Year. James was also re-presented with the Kent Cricket League Division 4 (2nd XI) winners trophy and was joined by the 2nd team squad (pictured) who all received a memento to celebrate their fantastic achievement. Afterwards everyone enjoyed dancing the evening away.
