Old Victorians Cricket Club has been a prominent part of Jersey's cricketing landscape since its establishment in 1922. Nestled in the picturesque island of Jersey, the team has carved out a distinctive niche in local cricket, with a history marked by passion, perseverance, and a fair share of drama.
Their journey from a group of enthusiastic cricketers to becoming a respected team in Jersey's domestic circuit is noteworthy. Over the decades, Old Victorians have clinched several local league titles and participated in numerous inter-island contests, marking their footprint in the competitive sphere of cricket within the Channel Islands.
When it comes to players, Old Victorians have been home to some of the island's finest talents. One standout player is Jack Le Maistre, whose all-round performance throughout the 1980s helped the team secure many crucial victories. More recently, Ben Stevens has been a linchpin for the squad with his deft spin bowling and consistent middle-order batting, often emerging as the game-changer in tight matches.
Notable among their rivalries is the ardent contest against Farmers C.C., with their matches being awaited events on the island’s cricket calendar. These encounters often deliver riveting cricket, fuelled by a mix of community pride and a long-standing competitive spirit.
Old Victorians are known for their gritty, no-nonsense playing style. They heavily focus on disciplined bowling and sharp fielding, believing that matches are won as much in the field as with the bat. This strategy has seen them cross the finish line in numerous nail-biting contests.
There’s a certain tradition that makes Old Victorians stand out—their post-match gatherings, where tales of the day's play are recounted, analysed, and perhaps, slightly exaggerated. It’s a ritual that ties the team back to its roots, fostering camaraderie amongst players and supporters alike.
Their home ground, Grainville, serves as a fort for Old Victorians. Fans gather here, donning the club colours, their enthusiasm infectious, creating a vibrant atmosphere. The support from the community is overwhelmingly strong, with game days often feeling like a festival rather than mere sporting events.
In essence, Old Victorians are more than just a cricket team; they're a symbol of local pride with a rich history. They embody the spirit of Jersey cricket—passionate, competitive, yet always cherishing the essence of the game.
