Married vs Single — Women's Cricket Match, 1838
Married women vs Single women
1838-08-13
Through the late 1830s the rural Married vs Single women's cricket match — a tradition dating from at least the 1740s — continued to be played in several English villages. The 1838 fixture, reported in the Sporting Magazine, is one of the better-documented examples of women's cricket in a decade in which the men's first-class game was rapidly professionalising and the women's tradition was carrying on alongside.
