We’re delighted to confirm that a new wicket has been installed, thanks to the amazing fundraising from our local community and grant from East Hampshire District Council.

Opening ceremony Friday 25th April 2025

We will celebrate with an opening ceremony on Friday 25th April 2025 attended by Councillor Clark and Councillor Hill. More details to follow.

Young players attend county trials

This year marked the twentieth anniversary of youth cricket at Holybourne and this season fourteen players achieved the high standard needed for our coaches to recommend them for county level trials.  

Tom Ellis, Colts Manager said:  

‘Our Colts teams have gone from strength to strength this season, and our coaches were impressed with the standard of bowling, batting, and general enthusiasm for the game. We celebrated all our young players at our Awards Night on 13 September and it was fantastic to see the Club House filled with players from age 5 upwards, all in their kit, and supported by their friends and family. 

‘For the Hampshire Cricket trials, it was a hard task, but we narrowed down our recommendations to 4 from the u9s, 4 from the u11s and 6 from the u13. The children and young people are waiting to hear back from Hampshire Cricket. 

‘An exciting next season awaits, especially with the new wicket to play on.’
