Thank you for visiting the IBM South Hants CC website.
We are a cricket club consisting of present and past IBM employees as well as a good number with no link to IBM at all! The club runs two summer teams: a Saturday League Side who play in the Hampshire Cricket League, and a Sunday Friendly Side whose main purpose is to enjoy the game and take in the best of the Hampshire and Sussex countryside and hospitality.
 Our league side play their
home games at IBM Hursley (south of Winchester) and on Sundays we play our home friendly matches at New Place, Shirrell Heath (north of Fareham). Both are stunning and peaceful locations to play cricket. Once the
long summer days our Indoor Team participates in the South East Hampshire
(Fareham) Indoor Cricket League at Fareham. When not competing against other teams we organise winter indoor and
summer outdoor nets and run numerous social events such as golf days throughout the year.
The ethos of our club is one of enjoyment and we pride ourselves on the excellent retention rate of players who join us (one or two even going back to
the current club's predecessors - IBM Havant CC and IBM Cosham CC, alias IBM Portsmouth CC in the 1970s). We play all our matches competitively but always well within the spirit of cricket and try to ensure that everyone gets an
opportunity to participate in each game.
The club is always looking for players of all abilities, regardless of whether they are IBM employees or not and you will be assured a warm welcome so, if you
are interested and want to find out more, please contact John Lowe, the club chairman.
