Established in 1881, Yateley Cricket Club (YCC) is
140 years old and its history is synonymous with landmarks in the village of Yateley. In its formative years YCC
played at the Cricketers Pub on Cricket Hill, and then on “The Green” on the Reading Road. In 1999 YCC moved to a new purpose built ground
and clubhouse at Sean
Devereux Park,
which was developed jointly with Yateley Hockey Club with grant support from
Sport England and others.
"Home" in Sean Devereux Park
Since 1999 YCC has successfully
implemented a plan to transform itself into a larger club capable of
challenging the best in the area. A
youth policy is at the core of this plan and our younger players are an
important part of our senior teams. Following
approval of it's management and coaching practices YCC was accredited “Clubmark”
status in 2009 by the ECB and became a Hampshire Cricket “Focus” club. Hampshire Ladies and Youth teams regularly
use Yateley's ground for matches.
YCC has 17 ECB qualified coaches
including Colin Justice who has run junior County
Cricket teams for Surrey
and Hampshire and now sits on an advisory committee for junior cricket at
Hampshire CC.
Our Youth Section is one of the most
successful in the North Hampshire region and competes for League and Cup
Honours in all age groups. A number of
boys and girls have previously represented Hampshire and Berkshire in their age groups. The club is very proud of Michael Bates a former Yateley Colt who represented England at youth level and went on to be awarded a professional contract with
Hampshire.
