Sparsholt C.C. is a "Premier" cricket club, in the heart of the picturesque village of Sparsholt, just outside the historical city of Winchester.
We field three teams on a Saturday (our top team play in the ECB Southern Premier League Div 1, Our second and third teams play in the Hampshire Cricket League), a Sunday team that play friendly fixtures with local teams and touring sides alike (a team for the casual player as well as those who want to play but perhaps not at a competitive level), as well as a thriving junior section comprising of children aged from 5 to 19 years.

It is the members past and present that make village clubs stand the test of time. Sparsholt CC has been around since 1929, and in that time there have been some great players and families come in and out of the Locks Lane Pavilion to grace the cricket pitch for the trees! This section of the site is for members and friends of the club alike to pass on their memories of players and other members going back through the years.
