Sharks vs Gloucestershire: Guide to the Game

The Blast is back at The 1st Central County Ground, starting tomorrow with a Men's and Women's double-header clash against Gloucestershire. To help you plan your day with us, we've created a Guide to the Game, with all the info you need ahead of your trip to Hove.

From information on when to arrive, to what you can and catch bring into the game, plus the squad lists for both teams and more, our Guide to the Game is a must-read before you head to the ground. Read the Guide to Game.

Ticket Information

As well as general admission tickets, we are delighted to able to offer Sharks fans, two brand-new premium ticket offerings. 

The first gives you access to our new exclusive venue, the Silly Point Pub. Next we have the Blasting BBQ package. Both packages giving you a little something special on top of your match ticket.

Want to know more? Head to our Blast is Back page to explore your ticketing options for tomorrow! 

Sixes Social Cricket

If you've been to the ground recently you may have noticed our very own Sixes Social Cricket bar. If you haven't, then where have you been?! 

Our Sixes Social Cricket Bar will open on the matchday all the way the day until 10:30pm. Full to the brim with fantastic food and drink to fuel you up with the net session of your dreams. Take on the Sussex Sharks stars and test your six-hitting skills.

Head to the bar, located behind the Webtrends Optimize Sharks Stand tomorrow to book your net. 

Don't Forget to Bring Your 1st Central Hair Headband!

Sussex Cricket and 1st Central have teamed up to give Sharks fans who re-use their 1st Central Hairy Headbands at a Blast game the chance to win a mystery prize!

As Sharks fans will know, we have been giving out free 1st Central Hairy Headbands at Blast games for the past few seasons, and in the spirit of sustainability, we have partnered with 1st Central to incentivise supporters to re-use their Hairy Headbands at future games.

Starting this Sunday 1st when the Sharks take on Gloucestershire at The 1st Central County Ground, fans who arrive with their headbands at the gate will be given a free raffle ticket and the chance to win a mystery prize. 

Fans who attend games will still be able to pick up headbands free of charge and will also be able to give a small donation, if possible, to the Sussex Cricket Foundation.
