Teamo
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.
Second-hand Kit
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.

Jim Tibenham
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.

Here's our 2026 Season In Numbers...We are incredibly proud of the impact we have on the Andover Community and the number of children who are able to access cricket at the club.This year, we were incredibly proud to run our Step Into Cricket program so successfully. This allowed 130 children in six state schools to play cricket after school, for free, facilitated by our coaches. This was the fourth year we have run Step Into Cricket and we were delighted to achieve a gender-balance across the programs this year.We are always looking to partner with community groups, so if you'd like to work with us in 2027, drop us a DM!
Here's to an incredibly successful 2026 for ACC's senior teams...

Great win but such a wonderful club day out too as you can see by the support we had on the day. Sadly some of those club legends have left us namely Lesley Morgan, Roly Cook and my father Don Hayward stood behind Roly. The team that day as per the photo. Back Row.
