Tasmania University Cricket Club

Latest News (2nd. June 2005)

Old Minutes Book shows that the University Cricket Club was formed earlier than thought.

The Tasmania University Union (T.U.U.) was formed in 1899 and cricket was one of the five founding members. It was always thought that the cricket club was formed at the same time the T.U.U. was formed.

However, the discovery of an old Minutes Book in the archives section of the University Library has shed new light on the situation. The Minutes Book contains the hand written minutes from the meeting held on September 21st 1898 to establish the University Cricket Club.

This Minutes Book also contains the hand written minutes of the first meeting of the T.U.U. in 1899 which gives details of the formation of the T.U.U.

This discovery shows that the University Cricket Club was established some months before the T.U.U. was formed.
