DIScoverABILITY 2025: All you need to know

The Sussex Cricket Foundation and Webtrends Optimize presents DIScoverABILITY Weekend 2025

The Sussex Cricket Foundation is delighted to announce that DIScoverABILITY Day will return once again to the The 1st Central County Ground on Friday 16th May 2025 and will precede with the inaugural Disability T10 Cup on Sunday 18th May on the hallowed turf at Hove. 

Last year, another record-breaking DIScoverABILITY Day saw over 700 participants from over 30 organisations, as well as over 150 volunteers take to the field at The 1st Central County Ground for an action-packed day of batting, throwing, catching and bowling challenges, designed for all abilities and led by Sussex Cricket Foundation coaches.  

For the first time ever the spectacular disability sport event, one of the largest in the southeast, will be followed by the inaugural Disability T10 Cup on the Sunday. 

The day will consist of two semi-finals and two finals, a shield and cup. The first match will take place from 11:00 am, and with the draw to be announced week commencing Monday 12th May.
