The earliest known reference to women playing cricket is a report in the Reading Mercury on Friday, 26 July 1745 when a match took place near Guildford, Surrey. There were infrequent mentions over the next hundred years until Victorian times when public matches seemingly died out and women's cricket became a country house pastime, played in private.[1]
