A lavish production looking back over the History of KSR written by Mark Chaloner OR.
For such a brief booklet, it is remarkably comprehensive, tracing the history of the game at KSR over the past two hundred years and more, giving pen pictures of the main characters who played or coached the game at the school, a chart showing the results of every first XI game in every season from 1900 – a total of 1551 matches – and even the full lyrics of the school’s Cricket Song, written by Canon William Parker, headmaster of the school in the 1930s. There is a photograph of the 1912 eleven, six of whom died in the Great War, a brief mention of opening bowler Pete Tong (later a successful DJ), and an affectionate appreciation of cricket at the school by its most illustrious cricketing alumnus, Matt Walker. A valuable contribution to the history of Kent cricket.
