The previous week’s sun kissed affair seemed a lifetime ago when the Ramblas rocked up to Sidcup to be greeted with arctic conditions.

Match Report: vs Cudham Wyse
Despite the appalling weather that has descended upon the country for most of 2018, a combination of a heatwave and hard work from our hosts’ groundsman ensured the Ramblas could get the season started on time.
Match Report: vs Chislehurst & West Kent
In the season finale, the Ramblas struggled in the cold climes of Chislehurst and couldn’t sign off the season with a victory.
Match Report: vs Brasted Invicta
On a glorious bank holiday in Sevenoaks, the Ramblas claimed their 12th of the season in a 49 run victory despite a spirited performance from the seven men of Brasted Invicta.
Match Report: vs Wrotham St George
In another gripping contest at Fortress Ex-Blues, an Alex Danks century saw the ten man Ramblas claim their 11th win of season against Wrotham St George. The win also saw the hosts finish the season with a 7-1 home record as they finish the season with two away games.
Match Report: vs Sherwood CC
After a surprisingly listless performance last week, the Ramblas were keen to right wrongs and put on a show in front of a home crowd for the final time this season. With a host of first team regulars unavailable for selection, Rich Ford came in to make his sixth appearance of the season along with…
Match Report: vs The Grove CC
It had been a while, but this weekend saw the Ramblas faced with a last-minute pull out; nope, we’re not talking about the bed-ridden Geoff Parrett, but with the proposed opposition cancelling on Friday, the board moved quickly to secure wandering side The Grove as replacements down at Ex-Blues. Mirroring the previous week against Petts Wood,…
Match Report: vs Shooters Hill
Having exorcised some demons in Norwood last week, the Kent Ramblas found themselves on the other side of south-east London as they faced new opponents in the shape of Shooters Hill. Skipper Stocks – still nursing a slight hand injury – made minor tweaks to last week’s winning side, with Howard Hardy-King and Chris Thomas…
Match Report: vs London City
In terms of ‘ideal preparation’ for a game of cricket, organising a booze-fueled fundraiser the evening before (with more than half your team present), isn’t probably the smartest of ideas, but when have we ever said the Kent Ramblas are the sharpest tools in the box? Still, it was a cracking night at sponsor The Baring Hall Hotel,…
Match Report: vs London Saints
Following on from two strong performances (and victories) in the previous two weeks, the Ramblas were in buoyant mood as they welcomed the ever-friendly London Saints to the cauldron at Ex-Blues. However, a seemingly endless rain shower did its best to dampen everyone’s spirits until the cricketing gods intervened and the game was on, albeit…
Match Report: vs Chevening Amblers
Sunday saw the Ramblas return to the home dressing room of the Pickhurst Rise arena to take on a familiar foe in Chevening Amblers. The two sides had faced off just six weeks ago in Chevening with an honourable draw being fought out in a timed match. The hosts’ team sheet showed no less than…
Match Report: vs Eden Park
“Neighbours. Everybody needs good neeeighbours” the song goes. And while Eden Park and Kent Ramblas are strictly co-tenants, I couldn’t think of a song that related to that. Anyway… It was the rarest of occasions for the Ramblas on Sunday, as they were in the visitors’ dressing room as they took on the more established…
Match Report: vs St Mary Cray Red Dogs
The question on every cricket fan’s lips was not whether Australia could drag themselves back into the Ashes. No siree. It was whether or not the Kent Ramblas could make it a remarkable four successive wins, as they headed south to old friends St Mary Cray Red Dogs. Captaining the side was Michael Cooper, stepping…
Match Report: vs Cuddington Casuals
Once upon time, in a land far, far away (from the South Pacific at least), there was a group of unlikely lads who thought it would be a good idea to start a cricket team. That good idea looked to have been misguided at best, as for two and a half years they toiled for…
Match Report: vs Wickham Park (20:20)
A gorgeous (at first) summer’s afternoon in West Wickham saw the second part of the now-traditional 20:20 double-header between neighbours Wickham Park and Kent Ramblas, with the Ramblas looking for revenge following the previous week’s fairly pitiful reverse fixture. Captain Cooper was able to field what looked on paper a pretty strong team, even taking…
