On Friday 12th August the Sussex Cricket Foundation hosted their annual Workplace B’Ashes, at The 1st Central County Ground, Hove.

The event saw 16 local businesses take to the field to compete in softball cricket matches run by Sussex Cricket Foundation coaches.

The 16 teams were split into 4 groups, all playing 3 matches with the winners of each group progressing to the Semi Finals. Ridgeview, Dotsquares A & B and Inventive Search all progressed to the Semi Finals having won their groups.

Ridgeview defeated Dotsquares ‘B’ before Dotsquares ‘A’ defeated Inventive Search to set up the final.

 The final was played in good spirit and was close all the way throughout, but Ridgeview edged it in their debut appearance at the B’Ashes to become the 2022 Champions.

The event raises money to put towards Foundation initiatives, which are aimed to help change lives through the power of cricket.

This year’s event raised more than £1,200, a sum which will be put towards supporting a project with The Royal Alexander Children’s Hospital.

Gary Wallis-Tayler, Community Cricket Director “It was another fantastic Workplace B’Ashes, which has raised money for us to be able to put towards our planned work with The Royal Alexander Children’s Hospital.

“I’d like to thank the 16 teams that have taken part today to support the Foundation and hope everyone returns for our 2023 event. Special mention to Ridgeview on winning the event in their very first B’Ashes appearance!”

A special thank you goes to major club sponsors Dafabet, who kindly donated their ground usage to the Foundation to run this event. Everyone at the Sussex Cricket Foundation is extremely appreciative of the generous gesture.

Teams that took part: Ridgeview, Dotsquares x 2, Love Local Jobs x 2, Blue Spire, Brighton Fire Alarms, Sutton Winson, Webtrends Optimize x 2, Telefonica Tech x 2, Inventive Search, The Martlet Partnership, County Business Club/Warren House Accountants, Simplex.

UPDATE 17th June 2019

Dear all

Greetings from sunny Salamanca! As you may have gathered, I am a trustee of Sussex Cricket Foundation and I am on a 1,000km, solo, sponsored bike ride from Seville in southern Spain to Santiago de Compostela in the north-west. As I’m now just over half way, I thought I’d send an update.

I’ve been cycling for nine days, with eight more to come. I’m doing about 60km a day, on a mountain bike. Most of the route is either on paths or on the sort of ‘road’ on which, were you driving a car, you would definitely want to take out extra insurance for damage to the underneath of the vehicle. It’s a wonderful part of the world for panoramic landscapes, birdlife and, particularly, history. The route I’m taking - known as the ‘Via de la Plata’ - was originally a Roman road, and then in the Middle Ages became one of the ‘Camino’ (pilgrimage) routes to Santiago de Compostela. There are some amazing churches and walled towns (I’ve already been to two places that were settings for ‘Game of Thrones’), and I’ve been very, very lucky with the weather so far...but north-west Spain is one of the wettest parts of Europe, so this could change... I’m also fortunate to have timed this to coincide with the Cricket World Cup, which gives me something else with which to fill my days once I’ve arrived at my destination (when there’s play, that is!).

The photo is of me outside Salamanca Cathedral - in my SCF T-shirt, of course! - and if you want to read about my daily progress, I’m blogging each evening at https://katycamino.wordpress.com.

It’s a long way to be travelling on my own - and I really appreciate all the support I’ve been shown so far. Thank you so very much to those of you who have already so generously sponsored me. My JustGiving page (which also allows you to add 25% extra through Gift Aid) is at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/katycamino2019 - and I would be hugely grateful for anything you can give. The Sussex Cricket Foundation does amazing things, and with your support we can do even more!

Thank you so much again - and I’ll send another update when I make it to Santiago!

All the best

Katy
