  Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club is one of the 18 major county clubs which make up the English domestic cricket structure, representing the historic county of Nottinghamshire.
Curiously, the earliest known reference to cricket in the county is the Nottingham Cricket Club v Sheffield Cricket Club match on the Forest Racecourse at Nottingham on Monday 26 and Tuesday 27 August 1771.
Nottinghamshire enjoyed one of their strongest teams in the late seventies and early eighties when the ultra professional New Zealand all-rounder Sir Richard Hadlee, South African strongman Clive Rice and boyish England batting star Derek Randall led their team to the county championship.

 Ashby Hastings Cricket Club - History
The decision of the County Club in 1964 to centralise its facilities and fixtures in Leicester deprived Ashby of a fine spectacle, and its local cricket followers of a chance to view County Championship cricket close to hand.
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.

 Lancashire Constabulary Sports & Social Club - Cricket Section Annual Reports
2005 proved to be a very disappointing season, in light of the optimism at the start of the year with the influx of a number of quality cricketers amongst the new recruits.
Despite having probably the strongest squad of police cricketers in Lancashire for many a year, the team we fielded that day was a very poor reflection of it, with a couple of people standing in as last-minute replacements, and a couple of others carrying injuries who ideally shouldn’t have played.
The outcome is that we have probably the strongest squad of cricketers for many years, and we should be in a position to make a strong challenge for the 2005 Police Sport UK Cricket Knockout.
