Tragic news

I'm very sad to have to pass on the news that Ben Simpson passed away during the 3rd team match on Saturday.

Ben was 26, a very popular member of both clubs prior to us merging, and with his brother Joe, were very influential members of the the junior section. His enthusiasm, humour and happy go lucky attitude will be much missed.

The thoughts of the whole club are with his family and friends at this time.


If you wish to leave a message, please use the comments facility below, and I will make sure they are passed on to the family.

Cricket : Lydia G all at sea

I meant to post this ages ago, but lost the newspaper article, and it only turned up at the weekend. Anyway another of our cricket internationals Lydia Greenway was featured in a local paper aboard a sea france ferry playing a quick game of cricket, as the image below shows.

Update : Emma G tells me " that in the back ground is Lynsey Askew (BromBeck Ladies 1s) who plays cricket for the England Under 21s "

Cricket : Keysy named as Kent captain

Rob Key has been named as the Kent Captain for next season.

We've had an email from Becky Penn who would like your help with her A level project, she says...

" Please could you do me a favour and put this questionnaire up on the BromBecks website. It is for my A-level PE Coursework in which I am analysing the impact of stress within different levels of competition i.e. does the level of stress increase with the level of competition. All the instructions are included on the attachment. "

here's the questionnaire, and here's Becky's email address : eeyore_oneuk@hotmail.com

weekend report

Wins for the men's 1, 2's, 2a's and 3's marked a good weekend for the Men's sides, but with the women's 1's not in action the 2's unfortunately lost to (league leaders) Folkstone.

More and more reports are online, and you are encouraged to create and read our reports, Danny Holmes has written up reports of all three of the men's 1's games, and Emma Greenway is doing a very eloquent job on the women's 1's reports. They can all be found, from the menu under 'fixtures and reports'.

Gentleman's Dinner

Both former clubs have enjoyed annual dinners, and continuing this tradition we are proud to announce this years Gentleman’s dinner for the benefit of both new and old members of our newly formed club.

Tables of 10 are arranged by both teams (younger participants) and friendships. Numbers are limited to a maximum of 80, so FIRST come FIRST serve.
