Hampshire XI Visiting (Weds 4th June)
Wednesday 4th June 2025 - Wednesday 4th June 2025
2024 Championship Runners-Up @ Steephill
Continuing Ventnor CC’s 175th anniversary celebrations, a Hampshire County Cricket Club Representative XI will visit Steephill on Wednesday 4th June to take on the home side in a T20 contest. It will be the only chance to see the first-class county side in the Island in 2025.
The match, which is free-of-charge, will be underway from 3pm and conclude about 6pm. Bar and BBQ will be available from 2pm and continue after the match.
The Hampshire side will be managed by Charlie Freeston, a former Ventnor captain and now the county’s head of player development. He has promised a strong XI for the occasion.
This will likely include several first team regulars – notably, Nick Gubbins, the former England Lions batsman with more than 8,500 first-class runs to his name and former South African test star, Kyle Abbott.
Ventnor CC will be delighted to welcome as many local residents as possible to celebrate this special occasion.
Parking
Please note that parking is limited at the club. Additional parking is available in the adjacent Ventnor Botanic Gardens car-park (£5 per day) as well on-street along Park Avenue heading west to Steephill.
