Gloucestershire's final pre-season fixtures confirmed
17 February 2025
The Club is pleased to confirm two additional pre-season matches to be played in late March and early April in the lead-up to the 2025 season.
Following the pre-season tour to Stellenbosch, domestic preparations begin with a one-day red-ball match against Hampshire at the Utilita Bowl on Thursday 27 March, before a trip to Taunton to face Somerset in a three-day warm-up match beginning on Friday 28 March as announced last Tuesday.
The final pre-season fixture takes place at the Seat Unique Stadium, with Glos hosting Leeds/Bradford UCCE in a three-day red-ball match from Sunday 30 March to Tuesday 01 April.
Entry to the Bristol match will be free of charge but parking at the stadium is limited on all three days, and will only be available on a first-come first-served basis.
Spectators are advised to use alternative methods of transport.
