The Green Jackets Ground is a cricket ground in St Cross, Winchester, Hampshire.
The ground was first used in 1859, when Winchester Garrison played I Zingari.[1] The ground was used by the Rifle Brigade, known as the Green Jackets, who were based in Winchester at the Peninsula Barracks.[2] The ground is currently owned by the trustees of the nearby ancient Hospital of St Cross and lies next to water meadows of the River Itchen.[3] The ground was first leased to the Rifle Brigade and since 1885 it has been leased to the Green Jackets Club.[4][3] Only one first-class match was played at the ground, which saw Hampshire play Sussex in 1875.[5] Sussex were dismissed in their first-innings for 206, with Hampshire being dismissed for just 60 in their first-innings and were made to follow-on in their second-innings, making a total of just 119. Sussex therefore winning by an innings and 27 runs.[6] The original wooden cricket pavilion at the ground dated from 1886, but was destroyed by fire and a replacement was built in 1970.[3] For many years, the ground has played host to the Southern Counties Archery Championship, in which thirteen counties from the South of England are represented.[3] St Cross Symondians Cricket Club use the ground as their home venue.[7]
