Our Story

From the Sunbeams to today

Nearly a century of cricket on the same patch of ground.

Around 1920

The earliest recorded team was a ladies' side who called themselves "The Sunbeams", playing at Bellemore Road before the move to Southern Gardens.

1927

The club, then known as Bramtoco Sports Cricket Club, built its first clubhouse in the corner of the grounds next to the railway line.

Mid-1970s

Saturday cricket was organised into a formal league structure as the club entered the Hampshire Leagues.

2002–2007

A golden spell for the 1st XI, winning Division 1 of the Southern Electric Premier League three times and finishing runners-up once, never dropping outside the top five.

2007

Following the closure of the Southampton BAT factory, the club was renamed Totton & Eling Cricket Club to reflect its commitment to the local community.

2010

The current clubhouse opened, with two function rooms overlooking the square — now also home to TECC Events.

  • Junior training — different age groups train on different evenings through the season
  • NFJCA & Winchester Warriors leagues — competitive fixtures plus local cups
  • Girls' cricket — a dedicated girls' team in the Winchester league
