Established in 1881, Yateley Cricket Club (YCC) is 137 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.
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 15 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.
