Just less than a week ago the Kent Cricket Club (KCC) conducted a successful coaching clinic at the Kissy Police Primary School. KCC has a passion to teach the game to the young generation in Sierra Leone.

Commenting on the grassroots cricket coaching conducted in Bo, Emmanuel Pessima, Chief Executive & Founder, Kent Cricket Club said, “we had fun in Bo and had the opportunity to meet the Awada School to illustrate using cricket as the unifying power to bring people and communities together starting from grass roots.

“We are delighted with the support we had from Ibrahim Pat-Sowe, a friend of mine who asked us to make a trip to Bo to ensure we can use cricket to help spread joy and peace to children not only in Freetown, but all over Sierra Leone”.

I want to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to Aunty Chadia Talib, Mrs. Awada and the Awada School for taking time out to allow us introduce cricket in the area. says Emmanuel

In another development, Kent Cricket Club (KCC) will introduce Kwik Cricket to the American International School of Freetown (AISF) on Tuesday 17th June 2014 at their school ground.
