Sussex proud to support Rainbow Laces campaign again

8 Aug 2019

For the third year in a row, Sussex Cricket will be proudly supporting the Rainbow Laces campaign at this Friday’s Vitality Blast match against Middlesex at The 1st Central County Ground.

The ECB has joined forces with LGBT equality charity Stonewall to bring Rainbow Laces to the Vitality Blast and Kia Super League for the next round of matches. The campaign will see thousands of players and fans lace up their Rainbow Laces on 09 – 12 August, to show that cricket is everyone’s game and that LGBT people are welcome and included at every level.

Players have been issued with rainbow laces for tonight’s match and the stumps will be adorned with rainbow stripes

We know that most fans welcome and accept LGBT people in sport. However, we can’t let a minority of fans spoil the game and make LGBT fans feel unwelcome watching or playing cricket.

By supporting Rainbow Laces we are stepping up to show that offensive chants, language and behaviour have no place in our game.

Join us and Stonewall to make sport everyone’s game – www.stonewall.org.uk/sport
