Wicklow Newsletter - 4th May 1907
"At Sir Stanley Cochrane's new cricket ground at Bray - matches arranged as follows-
On 2nd May - All Ireland X1 v. Yorkshire
On 8th August - Mr. Cochrane's X1 v.
South Africa, on tour in 1907 to England.
The Bray ground is now nearing completion in the manner of general equipment and should prove an improved venue in future seasons."

"The band of the 11th Hussars played a programme of music yesterday on Woodwork Bray, during the All Ireland v. Yorkshire cricket match."

"Rain greatly interfered with the All Ireland v. Yorkshire cricket match, which was begun at Woodwork on Thursday. Yorkshire batted first and when play ceased for the day had made 153 for the loss of four wickets."
