20 Sep 2023

Supporters now have the opportunity to vote for the winners of this year’s Women's End of Season Awards for 2023.

There are two categories for you to have your say in: The Women's Sparkling Moment of the Year, presented by Ridgeview and the Women's Performance of the Year, presented by R-Cubed.

Voting is now open via the polls at the bottom of this article, with voting coming to a close on Sunday 24th September at 12pm. The awards will be presented to the player with the most votes at the Club's 2023 awards night on 30th September. 

Please note: Any statistics mentioned below were accurate at the time of publishing.

Women's Sparkling Moment of the Year 2023 Nominees

1. Lottie Curling takes wicket with first senior ball

As introductions to the team go, not many can top Lottie Curling's. A product of the Sussex pathway, Lottie made her debut against Middlesex and announced herself with her very first delivery. Lottie ended up with 2-32 off her 7 overs as Sussex won by 94 runs with 10 overs to spare.

2. Izzy Collis reaches 100 caps

It was a momentous moment for Izzy Collis when she was awarded her 100th Sussex cap for the County, prior to the game against Oxfordshire on August 17th. Izzy is just the sixth player to reach the milestone, a group that includes Sussex Women Head Coach, Alexia Walker and current team mate, Chiara Green. 

3. Sussex Women win two out of three trophies

The final nomination goes to the entire Sussex Women squad. Having first won the Regional Vitality Blast T20 trophy for the second year running, Sussex Women lifted gold again after a tense wait on the final day of the competition.

Eventually Sussex were crowned champions of the South Central Regional Cup in August after winning four games on the bounce. Having finished level with Hampshire, Sussex were awarded the trophy thanks to a superior head-to-head record over their rivals.

Sussex Women have had one of the most successful seasons in recent years made even more remarkable by being one of the most affected counties by professional and international call-ups. 28 players represented Sussex across 15 matches with another 5 eligible but not available due to injury or international commitments. For a non-professional team this was simply remarkable.

Women's Performance of the Year 2023 Nominess

1. Nicole Faltum's 123 vs Middlesex in the London Championship

Australian overseas Nicole Faltum hit an outstanding 123 from 120 balls to help Sussex Women to a 94 run victory in the Women's London Championship. Her knock consisted of 16 fours and one maximum to bring Sussex's total to 276 from their 50 overs. The wicketkeeper-batter once again proving what an asset she has been to the squad this year.

2. Izzy Collis' 102 vs Dorset 

On her 99th appearance for Sussex, opener Izzy Collis blasted her way to 102 runs from 127 balls as Sussex Women comfortably beat Dorset Cricket by 169 runs in the South Central Regional Cup, a trophy the team would go on to lift. 

One week later she would go on to receive her 100th cap for the County, just the sixth player in the Club's history to do so.

3. Anna Buckle takes 5-32 against Oxfordshire

Having won the toss and elected to bat, Sussex put on a total of 237 runs before being bowled out, but Anna Buckle made sure of the win as she put on a display of fine bowling to ensure victory was secured. 

Anna ripped through the Oxfordshire top order, dismissing both openers for just 5 runs. She finished with figures of 5-32 from her 7 overs, helping Sussex to yet another win in the competition.
