Club closure with immediate effect

Following government guidelines on the coronavirus, the committee has decided that we have no choice but to close the club for a period of time - probably until next season. All outstanding KCCA matches have already been cancelled.

All internal club fixtures i.e. Players Trophy, Easter Lightning Tournament and the EGM (set for 1 April 2020) are consequently also cancelled. The EGM will be rearranged once circumstances become clearer.
