Match Report: vs Royal Challengers CC
It sounds like something Sherlock Holmes might have fun trying to solve, but if a cricket team arranges three games yet those three games never take place… does that cricket team really exist? That’s the question the Kent Ramblas were left contemplating as they had to find a last-minute replacement for their initially intended opponents…

Match Report: vs Pluckley CC
Desperately scrambling around for players until the eleventh hour and driving hungover teammates as they contemplate throwing up into a carrier bag wasn’t the glamour that Michael Cooper signed up for when he was appointed captain. But, you’ve got to play with the cards you’re dealt and that was Cap’n Cooper’s hand as Kent Ramblas headed to…

Having ended their (ir)regular season with a record nine wins to come out with a 50% success rate, the Kent Ramblas left the bright lights of West Wickham to head off on an exotic tour.

Match Report: vs London City
Having secured a fine win last week away at Bickley Park, the Ramblas returned to Pickhurst Rise to take on London City in a match that turned out, to quote Dame Shirley Bassey and the Propellerheads, to be a little case of history repeating itself… Stand-in Skipper Sam Ford won the toss once more and opted…
