A message sent out earlier this week by the New Britain Social Club announced that as of September, cricket games will be played at Veteran’s Stadium at Willow Brook Park in New Britain. This is already happening elsewhere in the city, but here’s the twist:
“. . .Waterbury, New Britain, Hartford, Windsor and Bloomfield currently have one or two cricket fields. Our plan is to bring the final games from these locations to New Britain.”
The message says that this is a collaboration between the New Britain Social Club and the City of New Britain’s Parks and Recreation department.
Hartford has a reputation for its interest in cricket, with fields in Keney Park and Riverside Park.

Hartford hold the original Cricket Hall of Fame and it is internationally recognized, do you know that? All the teams are governed by the Connecticut Cricket League do you know that?
