The earliest reference to Easton Cricket Club is in 1903, when cricket matches were played on a pitch in the village meadows.  Sometime later the Club was granted permission to play village cricket on part of a field at ‘Cockets Mead’. In 1946 the village cricket clubs of Easton and of Martyr Worthy merged, as an aftermath of two World Wars and a changed rural lifestyle.

At that time, David Roth, a London accountant and keen cricketer with a family home in Martyr Worthy, purchased the freehold cricket field at ‘Cockets Mead’ to save it from being developed for housing, after it had been advertised ‘For sale by Auction’ the previous year.  After the purchase David was made Club President of EMWCC.  After his death in 1957, his sons Martin and John Roth inherited the cricket field and John, who had played for the Club, was elected as its President. John passed away in 2025 at the grand age of 102, and the Club Presidency was passed to his elder son, John.

By 1996 increased cricket standards called for significant ground improvements and a search for funding to provide for this was undertaken. A successful application to the ‘Lottery Sports Fund’ enabled the Club to purchase the cricket ground from the Roths – their stipulation for the sale required that the ground to be known as ‘The David Roth Cricket Field’ – and the ground be used to provide cricket to the local community. In 1998, with various grants and outside help, the enlarged ground was made-up (land from the neighbouring Farmer – the Greys – was required) and the playing square was graded after thousands of tons of soil was imported to reduce the ‘bowl’ profile. Afterwards a new wicket was laid to Test Match status. Senior and Junior cricket prospered and in 2006 the Club achieved ‘ClubMark’ status from the Hampshire Cricket Leag

Although significant ground improvements had been made, no funding had been secured to replace the pre-fabricated cricket pavilion. This had deteriorated and lacked modern facilities to the extent that a costly replacement was required – at the same time that the adjoining Village Hall also needed to be replaced. As a result, a joint development scheme followed. In 2009-2010, agreement was reached for the freehold of the cricket ground to be transferred to the ‘Easton Village Hall and Recreation Ground, Registered Charity 301809’ (EVH&RG) with a scheme to replace the former Village Hall and dilapidated Club pavilion with a purpose-built brick building embodying the Village Hall and the Cricket Club’s new requirements.

An Agreement for the Club to use the facilities and to be principal user of the cricketing area of the ground during the cricket season was signed on the 24th July 2010 with the new building then being constructed in 2010-11. The terms required the Cricket Club to enter into a formal ‘Hiring Agreement’ with the EVH&RG and its ‘Committee of Management’, to make a nominal contribution towards running costs as agreed yearly, and to be responsible for the area of the playing ground, the provision and maintenance of the equipment required, and to arrange its own insurance. This ‘Hiring Agreement’ emphasises the need for an able Easton & Martyr Worthy Cricket Club Committee to be elected each year and for the support of all Club Members.

In 2017, the Club was granted Community Amateur Sports Club Registration. In 2026 the Cricket Club celebrates its 80th anniversary. It has an active Colts, Ladies & Seniors Membership providing training and games for around 200 Members / Players in total each season.
