Brief report of the Racketball Kent closed 2010

For the first time the Racketball Kent closed was held at Bromley Cricket Club. From the feed back from all the players and supporters it was a great success.

Hopefully next year there will be more people entering, as there were a lot of you who didn't bother, you know who you are. Women's O45… Continue
