 Dublin University Cricket Club - History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Cricket has been played in Trinity since the 1820s, when there was a poem written about a team from Ballinasloe playing 'the Collegians', but references to a constituted cricket club have not been found before 1835.
The club produced a magnificent hardback history in 1980 (written by Michael Milne, Nick Perry and Michael Halliday) and this work is commended to anyone interested in finding out more about the long and illustrious history of the club.
It may surprise many who look at DUCC as a small club, struggling to make itself heard in a huge university and a professional-swamped Leinster league, but the club was on the official tour programme for the Australians (twice), South Africans (three times) and, as late as 1923, the West Indies.
