Solly March and Jason Steele join Jack Carson at Sixes for cricket masterclass

Sussex and England Lions spinner Jack Carson was joined by Brighton and Hove Albion's Jason Steele and Solly March at Sixes Social Cricket this week, for a cricketing masterclass and to raise awareness for the Sussex Cricket Foundation. 

The Premier League footballers swapped their boots for bats and balls with the guidance of our very own Jack Carson to help them score as many runs as possible. The Sky Sports cameras were also on hand to capture the competition that took place between the two Albion players.

The Sussex Cricket Foundation and Sixes have been working together to deliver even more cricketing opportunities and experiences for people within the County in a social setting, whilst also working together to raise vital funds for the Foundation to support their initiatives.

Visitors to Sixes will are able to make a voluntary £1 donation to the Sussex Cricket Foundation on top of their transactions, whilst players at affiliated clubs as well as students & teachers at schools across the County, are able to make use of an exclusive discount for the immersive experience.

Gary Wallis-Tayler, Community Director for the Sussex Cricket Foundation added: “It was great to have two high-profile Premier League footballers join us this week at Sixes to not only have some fun in the nets, but also to raise awareness for the work our Foundation carries out across the county.

"It has been great to work with Sixes Social Cricket this year and we are looking forward to coming up with new and exciting ways to raise much needed vital funds for the Foundation, as well as promoting the game of cricket in the community.”

Sixes CEO & Co-Founder, Calum Mackinnon, said: “We are delighted to support the incredible work Sussex Cricket Foundation do in the community.

“Putting cricket in accessible environments for people of all abilities and backgrounds to enjoy is something we’re incredibly proud of.
