Founded in 1750, Hambledon Cricket Club was once the most powerful club in the country and earned its reputation as the “cradle of cricket”.
The club now plays at the idyllic Ridge Meadow – its home since the 1780s – and fields three adult league teams on Saturdays. We play friendly matches on Sundays, and occasionally mid-week. We also have a thriving Youth section, with over 150 junior playing members.
We are always looking for keen players, so if you are interested please get in touch!

Senior and Under 17 Training sessions start this Wednesday 6 April at the Ridge, and will begin at 5:30pm (since it still starts to get dark relatively early...).
Let's see a good turn-out – please try to be there on time, or as soon after 5:30 as possible!
This year’s pre-season working party will be this coming Sunday, 27 March, starting at 10am. It looks like it won’t even be raining!
One of the jobs this year is to fit the new netting over the net lanes; so would be useful to have a few standalone stepladders - if you have one, please bring it along...
As always, the more volunteers turn up, the quicker it will all be done, but we should all be done by noon, so please come and lend a hand if you can!
It is with great sadness we report the recent death of Bill Enstone who represented the Hambledon club for over 35 years as a player, umpire and Club treasurer. Bill was a great team player, bowling his leg-spin and batting in the lower order. After hanging up his boots he became the Club umpire for numerous years and then moved onto the committee as the Club treasurer.
His funeral will be at the Sustainability Centre burial site on Tuesday 8th February at 11am, with the wake at the Hogs Lodge.
Below are the updated details for winter nets this January to March 2022, coming out at relatively short notice because of the recent uncertainty over the Omicron Variant of COVID-19.
In the light of recent decisions by the government not to impose any more restrictions, and the news that Crookhorn College are happy to welcome us to their site, the nets can go ahead.
Please note the following, as well as the information in the previous announcement:
We look forward to seeing you all there at the various Sundays over the next few months, so we can all get ready for a great summer of cricket.
Unfortunately, with the continuing COVID-19 situation, the indoor league has taken the decision to cancel more fixtures, while hoping to recommence at the end of January:
With the sustained high levels of new Covid cases in the last few weeks and the ever present likelihood of close contact pinging rearing its head, it has been decided to cancel the indoor fixtures for 16th and 23rd January.
We hope to resume on 30th January and the committee will be meeting next Monday to discuss that.
I am sorry about this and I am aware that some clubs were very keen to start but we feel it is too early at the moment. When we do, we want to be confident that the scheduled fixtures are likely to be played and we are not there yet.
