As the countdown continues, the Hampshire Cricket League has now released the fixtures for 2026. With three teams featuring in Leagues 4, 5, and 6, it promises to be an exciting season as Oakley CC aims to challenge at the higher end of our respective leagues.
The First XI will entertain Ashford Hill at Oakley Park, while the Second XI are thrown straight into the action against one of the title favourites, Basingstoke Capital. The Third XI will host AWE at Newfound, looking to build on a fantastic season last year.
With a few new members on board and the emerging Colts now a full year older, The Oaks are hoping for a bounce-back season after a challenging year affected by departures and injuries across the three teams. What was particularly encouraging, though, was that unlike some clubs, we kept fielding all three sides and the players across every group stuck together. That kind of attitude bodes well for 2026.
With a refreshed committee, new senior players, returns from long-term injuries, and a Colts section bursting with talent, there’s plenty to look forward to. So let’s dust off our gear, get to winter nets, and build towards a cracking season – one we can all enjoy and be proud of, both on and off the pitch.
