Kibworth sent out a clear message of intent with a stunning National Club Championship victory.
They booked a place in the third round with a 10-wicket demolition of Peterborough.
The Northants League side arrived at Fleckney Road at a distinct disadvantage because five of their squad were on Minor Counties duty with Cambridgeshire for a game which, ironically, was rained off.
Kibworth skipper Matt Craven won the toss and put in the visitors, who stuttered to 127 all out in the 43rd of their 45 overs.
Left-arm spinner Russell Spiers took 3-34 and there were two wickets apiece for seamers Dave Whitmore and Aamir Mahmood.
Craven (68 not out) and Sunny Patel (58 not out) then took apart the Peterborough attack as they reached their target in only 20.2 overs.
That earns Kibworth a trip to Banbury on Sunday, June 1.
Club chairman Steve Ellwood said: "We're going to throw everything we've got at this."
