Ramsdell Cricket Club is a village cricket club located in Tadley, United Kingdom. Nestled in the north Hampshire countryside, between Basingstoke and Kingsclere, the club has been a part of the Ramsdell Recreation Ground for over 80 years. Alyson, the organiser, takes great pride in how the club is integral to the parish life and works to maintain its close-knit community.
The club's grounds and facilities are meticulously maintained under the supervision of their long-serving groundsman, Dave Simpson. With a focus on providing top-quality pitches, they ensure that the square, pitches, and outfield are always in excellent condition. This dedication to the maintenance of their grounds greatly enhances the cricketing experience at Ramsdell Cricket Club.
Ramsdell Cricket Club currently runs three summer teams, two of which participate in the Hampshire Cricket League, competing in Division 4N and Division 5NE. These teams play on Saturday afternoons from early May to late August. The club also fields a midweek XI for the Guy Jewell Cup/Cyril Thompson Trophy competition, and a Sunday side that enjoys friendly fixtures.
To prepare for each new season, Ramsdell Cricket Club organises indoor nets at the Dummer Cricket Centre. This allows players to practise and hone their skills before summer starts. Whether you're a seasoned player or a beginner, Alyson encourages everyone to join with open arms.
Besides cricket, the club values a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. They foster camaraderie and teamwork, making it an inclusive and enjoyable place for all. Whether you're watching a match or participating as a player, expect a warm welcome at the Recreation Ground.
