First Cambridge Town v Gown Cricket Match — Parker's Piece, August 1813
Cambridge Town vs Cambridge University
1813-08-11
On 11-12 August 1813 a Cambridge University XI played a Cambridge Town side on Parker's Piece — the earliest documented Town v Gown cricket match in Cambridge. The match is a milestone in the development of university cricket: it was the first time the undergraduates had played a non-college outside opponent, and it set the pattern for the inter-town fixtures that became central to Cambridge cricket through the nineteenth century.
