Ashton-under-Hill CC
The 2nd Centenary
Welcome to the Ashton-under-Hill cricket club website. 2007 saw us celebrate 100 years of cricket in our picturesque village. Unfortunately wet weather was the winner but memorabilia is atill available and many events will now take place in 2008.
Ashton-under-Hill is situated in the Vale of Evesham, near the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire boundary. The Cricket Club was established in 1907. After a dispute over cattle the club split into two teams with Ashton Under Hill United formed. The two teams re-merged in 1910. During World War 1 the club lapsed, reforming in 1919. A lack of interest meant that the club folded in 1933, but restarted in 1948 at its present location on the village playing fields.
The present pavilion was built in 1990, with funds coming from a series of fund raising events including donkey derbies, a sponsered bed push and sponsered aerobics. A lottery grant in 1997 enabled the club to purchase practice nets, an artificial and the construction of sight screens and a score box.
We currently field two teams on a Saturday in the Cotswold Hills league, with the First XI in division 1 and the 2s in division 5. We also put out a team on Sunday and in the midweek when we run the Jack Grove memorial league, run in memory of long standing member Jack Grove. We are looking to run 4 junior teams at under 12, 14, 15 & 16 levels, with weekly kwik cricket sessions run for local children with the hope that these youngsters will go on to play for the club in the future.
