A century and a half after it was first played in downtown Fredericton, cricket has returned to Officers’ Square.
The Loyalist Cricket Club decided to hold a match to mark the 150-year anniversary after researching the history of cricket in the city.
The club discovered the square had been granted as a cricket ground and a husband and wife travelled it to watch the first cricket match there in 1868.
“They found the excerpt of a diary of a person who actually attended a game about 150 years ago,” said Bradley Cersing, a member of the club.
