2017 Hampshire Cricket League Fixtures announced!

An early Christmas present for local cricket fans!

Newly promoted Sway 1st XI will start their campaign in CD2 with a tough but attractive fixture at Bramshaw. Sway will have the chance to avenge the 3 wicket defeat suffered back in 2015.

......and to keep it local, Sway II will also play Bramshaw, hosting their 2nds at Jubilee Field. Bramshaw II secured an additional promotion from RD2 in 2016, finishing with a 5&8 record.

For the 2nd season in a row, Sway 3rd XIs will play Fawley, this time at Pennington. Sway will have a chance to avenge their 2016 defeat to the oilers!

Sway 4th team skipper Derek Seward will have a stress free opening  weekend as the 4ths have no game, hosting Bashley V at Pennington the following week.

Somewhat bizarre line-up for Sway 3rds in 2017 - the new season will see teams from 4 different levels in the pyramid coming together. Suttoners II had an unsuccessful season right up in CD4 will join Milford and Bournemouth who spent 2016 in RD4SW up against Sway 4ths.

Hyde II's who finished runners up in RD3W, for some reason have dropped down a division - but on the basis of their performance against Sway III in 2016, they are likely to be the team to beat.
