End of Season Awards: The Results

A Night to Remember: Sussex Cricket Celebrates at End of Season Awards

The Sussex Cricket family came together in style for this year’s End of Season Awards Night, an evening filled with smiles, stories, and standing ovations, hosted by Adrian Harms. 

It was a chance to look back on the highs of 2025, to recognise the incredible efforts of players, staff, and supporters, and to celebrate the spirit of cricket in our county.

From unforgettable moments on the pitch to the tireless dedication behind the scenes, every award told its own story of passion and pride.
