Sparsholt



Sparsholt Cricket Club is a thriving community club on the outskirts of Winchester, Hampshire. It was established in 1929 and currently boasts 200+ members, 5 senior teams and 9 junior teams (U9s – U17s). The club also has a Women’s cricket team playing in Hampshire Cricket’s W10, runs All Stars Cricket (5 – 8yr olds), and increasingly seeing young girls progress from All Stars into junior cricket leagues. 

The Clubhouse and grounds are utilised every weeknight and weekend during the season. We are a successful and fully inclusive cricket club with a small team of dedicated volunteers covering all areas from team management, coaching, umpiring, scoring and grounds maintenance.

The junior section draws from mainly state primary and secondary schools from across the Winchester district. The senior first team play in the Southern Premier League as well as the National Village Knock Out and SPL T20 competitions while the other senior teams compete in the Hampshire Cricket League. The club is keen to ensure a good pipeline of young players into senior cricket, so junior / senior transition is seen as a key focus area to keep young players in the game.

Sparsholt Cricket Club is well-known for its picturesque setting, quality wicket and welcoming teams. The Club itself is a true community club, tucked away in a small rural village. The local community are extremely supportive of the Club, and the local shop and Parish Council have voiced support for improvements in the facilities to ensure players, visitors and families continue to enjoy our great club.

The club organise junior indoor training through the winter (January to April) before heading outdoors for the summer after Easter. Current (2021) team managers are:
