150th Anniversary Events

2020 marks a special year in the history of Gloucestershire Cricket as the Club makes a return to Division One cricket and celebrates the 150th anniversary of the Club's foundation. 

Fresh off the back of a hugely successful season; in which Richard Dawson led his team to promotion to Division One of the County Championship and a third Vitality Blast knockout stage appearance in the last four years, there is plenty to be optimistic about the season ahead. 

The club are marking their 150th year in style with a year of celebratory events for members and supporters. During the summer, Mark Alleyne and other Gloucestershire greats will play a series of matches against cricket clubs in the region. Full details can be found here - https://www.gloscricket.co.uk/150/
