Racecourse Ground, Hereford
Résumé
The Racecourse Ground is a cricket ground in Hereford. The ground is located inside Hereford Racecourse and is the only remaining former first-class cricket venue in England which lies inside a racecourse. It played host to first-class and List A cricket matches for Worcestershire County Cricket Club between 1919 and 1988, and minor counties matches for Herefordshire County Cricket Club from 1992 to 1996.
The cricket ground lies within Hereford Racecourse and was established in 1909. It first held a first-class match ten years later when Worcestershire played HK Foster's XI in 1919, played as part of the county's first-class programme after they decided not to enter the County Championship immediately after the First World War. Worcestershire's Humphrey Gilbert claimed 12 wickets in the match for 122 runs. The ground staged a further first-class match in 1919, when the Australian Imperial Forces cricket team visited to play HK Foster's XI, with the Australians Johnny Taylor scoring 138 runs in the Australian Imperial Forces first innings of 405 all out. Worcestershire returned to ground following the Second World War, playing a first-class match against the Combined Services in 1947; Worcestershire's Roly Jenkins and Dick Howorth each taking a five wicket haul in the Combined Services first innings. It would be 34 years before Worcestershire returned to using the Racecourse Ground as an outground, with it hosting one County Championship match each in 1981, 1982 and 1983. Worcestershire played four List A one-day matches at the ground between 1983 and 1987 in the John Player Special League and Refuge Assurance League. The ground was selected as one of the host venues for the 1986 ICC Trophy, a World Cup qualifying competition for associate members of the International Cricket Council. It hosted one game between Argentina and Bangladesh. Following Durham's elevation to first-class status in 1991, Herefordshire replaced them in the Minor Counties Championship for 1992.
