Sports in Kenilworth

Despite suffering more than most from the May deluge, Kenilworth Wardens captain Harry Johnson believes his team are well placed to maintain their Birmingham Premier League Division Two challenge.

The Glasshouse Park club have been frustrated by the weather on three consecutive Saturdays as scheduled clashes with Wolverhampton, Dorridge and Bromsgrove all failed to see a ball bowled.

Kenilworth Wardens captain Harry Johnson has pronounced himself satisfied with the opening quarter of his team's Birmingham Premier League Division Two season.

Wardens' planned Warwickshire derby clash with Dorridge was one of four round five games abandoned without a ball being bowled after the entire six-match card had bitten the dust seven days earlier.

After over 12 months without competitive rugby, Kenilworth RFC's first XV travelled to Coventry to play local rivals Broadstreet in a friendly fixture this Saturday.

The away side came away with a 28-7 victory, against their higher league opposition.

Only Kenilworth CC's third XI managed to get a result this Saturday as they beat Southam by 10 wickets, whilst the other two sides saw their games abandoned due to the weather.

Southam (101 all out) lost to Kenilworth's third XI (57 for none) by 10 wickets as the KCC side chased a reduced total due to the weather.

Kenilworth Cricket Club's Sunday XI recorded a six-wicket win over Hockley Heath yesterday as the rain continued to affect the weekend's play.

KCC's Saturday sides were also interrupted by the weather, as only the third XI managed to complete both innings the day before.

Kenilworth Rugby's senior women's squad travelled to Cannock RFC on Saturday 15 for a final fixture before their pre-season into the Championship North.

The women's XV made it two wins from two, with an impressive 32-5 victory over Cannock. Kenilworth had previously beaten Birmingham Moseley 24-12 in their first game for 14 months.

Kenilworth Wardens secured a 3-1 victory over Central Ajax Reserves today courtesy of a brace by Guy Pearson.

Ajax hosted Wardens at their Hampton Road ground in today's friendly which was perhaps more notable for the weather conditions rather than the quality of football on display.

Kenilworth Women's Rugby made a successful comeback in their first match for 14 months with a nervy but ultimately convincing win against Birmingham Moseley this Saturday.

Kenilworth relished the opportunity to blow off the cobwebs, and to hand debuts to six new players.

Kenilworth Cricket Club's Sunday side got their Arden Sunday League campaign off to the best possible start as they beat Corley by nine wickets yesterday.

The away side set a run total of just 111 as they were bowled out in 33 overs, giving Kenilworth (112 for one) a comfortable target to reach.

Kenilworth Cricket Club's Sunday XI beat Harborne by 83 runs this weekend thanks to a fine display by Dan Horner.

The 40 overs a side friendly was hosted by Kenilworth who posted 219 for five in their innings. Harborne were only able to muster 136 for 10 as they were bowled out with six overs to spare.
