| | CRICKET IN PERIOD |
 | | The aim of this article was to enable a reasonable game of period cricket to be played at Rowany Festival in 1997, rather than provide an erudite research paper. |
 | | Bandy bat, hands-in and hands-out, La soule, choule, paille maille, cambuca, stool ball, club-ball, cat-and-dog, bat-and-trap and stob-ball are just a few games prominently mentioned, and they are variously credited as being predecessors to baseball, cricket, hockey, hurling and la crosse, to name a few. |
 | | La Soule, for instance, was a game played chiefly on the Christian holidays of Easter and Christmas. |
