The Arbour XI | Winchester Cricket Club

Great lads. Good times. Average cricket.

If you’re here for the crack of the bat, the crack of the can, or just for the craic, we’re the team for you.

Fixtures & Results

Hampshire-Based Cricket Club

Founded in 2021, The Arbour XI are Winchester’s own cricket club.

A pub team. But the Winchester cricket team nonetheless.

Fun. Friendly. Open.

We are currently only playing friendly fixtures against similar mixed-ability clubs but are always looking to expand our fixture list.

The Spirit of the Game

Welcoming players of all ages and abilities, our only ask is that everyone buys into the ethos of friendly and sociable cricket.

Sponsorships

We are honored to be sponsored by O’Neill’s Irish Pub Winchester and MB Decorating.

Nets & Practice Sessions

Indoors and out, nearly all year round. Feel free to drop in and join us!

After-Match Drinks

Regardless of the outcome, it’s fun to share a pint after the match. If you have time to stick around, we always enjoy geting to know fellow cricketers.

End-of-Season Tour

Each year, we like to play teams a bit further away. For some reason, ducks don’t sting as badly on holiday.

Up the Arbour

We started small and aim to always keep that village cricket vibe.
(Sometimes it happens whether we like it or not.)

We take cricket seriously…

  • Training plans in place – we’re always looking to improve.
  • Dedication to the sport and to the team.
  • No matter your skillset, there’s a place for everyone.

…but not too seriously.

  • A more laidback approach to the sport.
  • Focus on having a good time.
  • No matter how many overs, there’s guaranteed to be at least one hangover.

“Positivity!”
