    Minster have been making any number of announcements: 

    Successful CAFC crossbar challenge participant and one of the best all time all-rounders in the KPL, James Thompson, has returned from his spell at Dartford. Keeper/bat Ben Chappelhow has followed him from Dartford to play in the first team as has his brother Joe who will be in their 2s. Ed Moore, who played one Test for South Africa and was prolific in his previous seasons at Minster has re-joined but as Afghan Usman Ghani has been signed too, I can only assume that the former is now considered as being non-overseas. England U19, Luc Benkenstein and his brother, Jack have been recruited. Australians Joey Boulton and Deegan Campbell will be their 2nd XI and 3rd XI overseas players respectively. Other players to be announced are Dillip Ayer and Ryley Davies

    On the coaching side, David Masters has become head coach, Chris Lewis is now their bowling coach and Kent's batting coach, Jaahid Ali is fulfilling the same role at Minster. Ian Sels is the new first team manager. Chloe Elull is now the club's new physio. 

    That's 16 announcements in total. Just waiting for today's social media posting to add to that list!

    Bloody hell

    I had Ben Chappelhow dropped on the boundary off me in a friendly a couple of years ago. Giant claim to fame I know. Anyway I'd get him out clean bowled these days

    Three Groundstaff in this week preparing the square and the outfield, they bought over two young Aussies in to play/coach the youngsters.
    They earn their keep by helping the groundsman and general maintenance around the place.
    Most years there are foreign imports either coaching or playing, I’ve met the owners all nice guys and obviously not short of a pound or two, one I believe is a magistrate.
