Photo of Wheatley Cricket Club (late 1960s). It is not known whether the team then played on Greaves field south of the railway line, one field removed to the west from Jackie's Lane then, or whether they had moved to Holton by then.

Photo of the team in 1977 as shown in the Jubilee booklet. Soon after, the club declined, but eventually (in 2008) Wheatley's name was added to the Holton club which had been formed in 1977 as a result of a match between the two villages that year as part of the Jubilee celebrations.
