The first
record of Rowledge Cricket Club appears in 1886
with a match recorded against Tilford. The Club’s
official start date is in 1887. Until 1914 the
club played its home matches at Holt Pound on
ground behind the Millers Forest Inn. This ground
is believed to be one of the oldest cricket grounds
in England and is often referred to as the ‘original
Oval’.
Over the years Rowledge Cricket Club has played
a prominent part in local cricket but it was in
the 1980s that it became probably the leading
club in the area. In the seasons 1980-85 the club
won the I’Anson competition every season.
The Club now runs 4 mens Saturday teams with our
4th XI playing in the local I’Anson league,
all the others in the Hampshire County League
.The club has always had a policy of introducing
our youth players to senior cricket and during
the past few seasons on some weekends at least
50% of our players have developed via junior section.
We also run a highly successful ladies team
in the National league Div 2.
