About this product
Product Information
This book is an illustrated history of cricket in Wales, tracing the evolution of, and the fundamental role of the game in the culture and social history of the Principality. Indeed, cricket was the first team game to be played in Wales, with the first record of a match taking place dating back to 1783. During the 19th century its development helped to unite communities, and provide a common bond for the people of diverse origins who had found their way to the booming towns and cities. Cricket also had a special place in the rural communities, with games being played at folk festivals and other gatherings, and this book illustrates how these informal games, as well as the successes of Glamorgan CCC and other Welsh teams, have brought great pride and joy to the nation.

This is a most interesting book which covers the development of the game of cricket in Wales from its very early days right up to the present. The story which it tells will certainly be enjoyed by Welsh cricket lovers. At the end there are some 50 photographs of various cricket teams ranging from Builth Wells circa 1860 to Glamorgan Totesport Champions in 2004. These show a wondrous variety of poses, hairstyles, hats, caps and blazers of all descriptions. An admirable way to close a comprehensive history of the game which has given pleasure to many.Griffith Philipps, Cambria This book is an illustrated history of cricket in Wales, tracing the evolution of, and the fundamental role of the game in the culture and social history of the Country.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
