TitleHuntingdon Town Second XI Cricket Team
DescriptionHuntingdon Town Cricket Club was formally instituted on the 8th March 1880 at a meeting held at the George Hotel, although cricket had been played on the Turnip Piece beside St Peter's Road since the 1860s, and the pavilion had been built by the local brewery, Marshall Brothers. The Second XI was formed in 1893 by the merging of the Huntingdon Town Club with the Wednesday Recreation Club. The centenary booklet produced by Huntingdon Cricket Club in 1980 (Accession 2449/70) relates that the "formation of the 2nd XI in 1893 had allowed shopkeepers and white-collared workers a chance to join the club." Previously the club had been very much a "Gentleman's sporting facility".
