Women’s Soft Ball Cricket Festival at Hove

The application deadline has been extended to take part in a special Women’s Soft Ball Cricket Festival at The 1st Central County Ground.

This summer, the Sussex Cricket Foundation are hosting a Women’s Soft Ball Cricket Festival on the outfield at The 1st Central County Ground and are now accepting applications from clubs who would like to take part. This event will take place on the morning of Sunday 22nd June (final timings to be confirmed), before Sussex Sharks take on Kent in the Vitality Blast Women's League Two the same afternoon. Players will be invited to stay and watch the match for free and there will be a special offer of £5 per ticket for guests.

The event is aimed at women, over 18, who don't already play cricket and cricket clubs who are looking to start women's cricket. We have a limited number of spaces available so clubs will be invited based upon their applications, after the below closing date.

Please complete the application form by Friday 9th May.

We have also now opened an ‘expression of interest’ form for individuals, who we will try to link up with local clubs - full details about this process are included at the top of the form.

If your club have not yet applied to enter but would like to be considered when placing these individuals please email lara.johnson@sussexcricket.co.uk.
