Gloucestershire is bounded by Herefordshire, Worcestershire, and Warwickshire on the north; by Oxfordshire on the east; by Swindon and South Gloucestershire on the south; and by Monmouthshire on the west.
The county falls into three distinct parts: the uplands of the Cotswold Hills in the east; the Severn valley with its rich pastures, known as the Vale; and to the west the historic Forest of Dean, which lies between the Severn and the River Wye on the border with Monmouthshire.
Gloucestershire's geology is varied, and includes gneissic rocks at the southern end of the Malvern Hills; greenstone at Damory, Charfield, and Woodford; sandy shales and sandstone at Dymock; and iron deposits in the Forest of Dean.

More recently, the club dropped into the 2nd division of the Leicestershire League, in part due to the disbanding of the Central League and the subsequent introduction of the 6 Leicestershire clubs that left to help form it and part due to the decline of cricket in Ashby and the close surrounding area.
Club cricket was conducted at a leisurely pace and was inevitably confined to those with the time and the money to be able to play during a time of severe economic recession.
These club members played home matches on a lovely ground, which was maintained to County Cricket standards and took their tea and after match refreshment in the elegant Royal Hotel.

 Dublin University Cricket Club - History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
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 is a long, often glorious history, and while the current club may seem a pale shadow of those that, for example, bowled Warwickshire out for 15 (in 1894), the game is played as hard and with as much passion for club and team-mates as it ever was.
