Earlier in the year it was great to be able to confirm that our friends at Ferris and Co. Estate Agents would be taking up the option of becoming our back of shirt senior sponsor from 2018.

Tim Ferris, owner of Ferris and Co. says: "Ferris and Co. are delighted to sponsor Bearsted Cricket Club, the Green is the focal point of the village and the cricket square its Fulcrum.

"It is a rare in this day and age to see a village cricket match in progress or practice taking place in the nets. Apart from the delight of leather on willow, the cricket club is a vibrant and nurturing resource for the village taking enthusiastic juniors to the youth teams and onto the first /second teams.

"One of the social events of the Bearsted calendar is the annual charity Cricket match against Workings Mens Club [which has raised thousands of pounds for the Kent Air Ambulance and Heart of Kent Hospice over the years] and the good cheer that follows the game

We wish all the teams a successful year."

David Patton, Hon. Chairman, Bearsted CC commented:

"Our cricket club, which has been at the heart of this village since 1749, continues to run successfully, offering good quality cricket for seniors and junior members as well as the wider local community, thanks to the commitment of its volunteers and the support of our many partners.

"In this tough climate, with many activities competing for people's time and of course money, we would find it extremely hard to operate without this invaluable support, we would like to thank Tim and his great local team for continuing to partner with us.

"We look forward to seeing many of them and of course their local clients on the Green enjoying the sunshine and the cricket over the coming months and years"
