	Ashby Hastings Cricket Club - History
		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.
		County Cricket continued at the Bath Grounds throughout these years and the atmosphere of the age is captured in the photograph below.
		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.
