May’s Bounty
May’s Bounty has a rich cricketing heritage, with the sport being played there since 1855. The ground was originally known as The Folly but was renamed in honor of Lt Col John May, who purchased it in 1880 to preserve it for sporting use.
The club offers cricket opportunities for all ages and abilities, fostering a welcoming environment for both seasoned players and newcomers. It is part of the Basingstoke Sports and Social Club, a multi-sport facility that also hosts Chineham Rugby Football Club, Bounty Squash and Racketball, and MFC Popley Youth.
