ECB 002

NEW MEMBERS ALWAYS WELCOME - Playing/Social, Senior/Junior...click here

We are a community club, located on the edge of the New Forest, providing a safe and friendly environment for players of all ages to enjoy the game of cricket. We run five Saturday league sides and a Sunday side plus colts cricket for all the age groups from Under 9 through to Under 17.

The first team competes at the highest recreational level in the elite ECB Southern Premier League Premier Division. The second team plays in Division 3 of the Southern Premier League. The third team plays in the Hampshire County Division 4 South, with the fourth and fifth teams playing in the Hampshire Regional leagues providing an ideal stepping stone from colts to senior cricket - or a resting place for those travelling in the opposite direction!

Since the premier league structure was launched in 2000 we have consistently achieved the Gold accreditation standard covering playing facilities and the provision of colts cricket. In May 2006, we became one of the first clubs in the county to achieve full Clubmark accreditation and we are an HCB Focus Club.

At the Bashley Cricket Ground (BCG), we have two pitches, two practice nets, plus a fully licensed bar in the main pavilion. After many years of fund raising renovation of the main pavilion has started to provide addtional changing and shower facilities and, during the winter months, we offer practice and coaching facilities in conjunction with nearby Ballard School for senior and colt members alike.
