Context

Creator(s): Dublin University Cricket Club

  • Administrative History ↴

    Cricket seems to have been played in Trinity College since about 1820, but the University club was probably not formed until 1842. On 19th February of that year the Board gave permission for the preparation of a piece of ground to be used as a cricket ground. Source: Kenneth C. Bailey 'A History of Trinity College Dublin 1892-1945, Dublin University Press (1947)
