ANDOVER CC

The 2024 AGM will take place on the 12th January in the pavilion. The meeting will start at 7pm. Wrap up warm as the building will be cold!

The club are running FREE cricket sessions women and girls aged 13+ this Spring. The sessions will take place at Rookwood School in their indoor sports hall and run on Thursday evenings from 6pm-7.15pm.

To sign up, please complete this form – https://forms.office.com/r/f1xDuD7vqG

Any questions, please contact Andovercc@mail.com

From 2023, the club will be using the Teamo app to help us with the ever increasing amount of administrative work required to allow everyone at the club to play safely. Teamo is an app used by many sports clubs to manage the member database, take payments, select teams, advise of cancelled fixtures etc…

We recognise that changing our player management system will incur some teething problems and will take some time to adjust to. If you encounter problems accessing or using Teamo then there is guidance and instructions that can be accessed through the top menu of this website. You can also contact andovercc@mail.com if you are really stuck and we will do our best to help!

Your team manager or captain will be in contact in due course with instructions on how to join through Teamo.

Andover CC would like to create a stock of second-hand cricket kit – either for resale with proceeds going back to the club, or for redistribution to enable more players to access our range of cricket activities.

PLEASE CAN YOU HELP US by donating any items that you no longer need, including…

– Protective equipment (no boxes please!)
– Cricket playing or training clothing (inlcuding RPC)
– Bats – all sizes
– Accessories (e.g. kit bags, shoes etc…)

Please get in touch if you want to check if what you have is suitable, or to arrange collection/storage.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

The Club are saddened to learn about the passing of Jim Tibenham , 5 short of his century, on June 6th. Keith Williams has been kind enough to provide the following obituary.

Jim captained Andover CC in the late 1960’s. Hailing from Sheffield, he instilled a typical Yorkshire grit to the side, but always insisted that we enjoyed playing the great game. I was always told that the Andover Cricket Club colours were those of Yorkshire, no doubt influenced by Jim.

Off the field he would have us in fits of laughter with his embellished tales of previous matches and players that took part.

A useful medium pacer and a handy lower order batsman Jim often contributed to a strong ACC side.

Jim’s wife Fay and daughter Susan would be at London Road most home games helping to provide legendary teas. Sadly, Susan passed away at a very young age.

After retiring from playing, Jim became a Vice President and would attend special occasions at the club.

He lived in Wolversdene Road until Fay passed away a few years ago, and then moved into the centre of town.

A real character, sadly missed.
