Two T20 Blast games will take place at the Cheltenham Cricket Festival in 2018

The Eagles will be landing in Cheltenham next year.

The Eagles in this instance are the Essex Eagles and they will be playing Gloucestershire in a T20 Blast game during the 2018 Cheltenham Cricket Festival.

The game will take place on Friday 20th July and is one of two T20 games that will take place at the beautiful College ground during the festival fortnight.

The second one is a week later on July 27th when Glamorgan will be the visitors.

The T20 Blast season will begin with Gloucestershire playing two away matches, before arriving in Bristol for the first home clash which takes place against Kent under the floodlights on Wednesday 11th July.

The highly anticipated home T20 Blast match against local rivals Somerset will take place on Friday 13th July when a sell-out crowd is expected!

On Sunday 12th August, supporters can look forward to the club’s Family Day match at the Brightside Ground, Bristol, with Surrey providing the opposition.

A record number of supporters – over 35,000 – attended Gloucestershire’s T20 Blast matches in 2017.
