COUNTY CRICKET CLUB
It is an exciting time for Sussex CCC at the moment with plans in
place to help the club progress both on and off the field. Cricket
Club Magazine recently caught up with Club Representative Sam
Keir to find out more about the work they are doing at the moment.
Present
Sam told us, “On and off the pitch there is a really good
vibe around the place at the moment. I think whenever
you speak to the head coach the talk is of controlling
what you can and playing the right way and taking each
game as it comes. For the supporters I would say they
definitely want to win promotion to the 1st Division of
the County Championship and there is a big opportunity
there with three teams going up.
We’ve had our challenges with injuries and Jofra
being away. It is fantastic for the club to see a player
that we’ve nurtured setting the world alight. Obviously,
we don’t get his services but we’re all so proud of him
and that offers a chance for more young players to come
through and represent the county.”
Women’s Cricket
“We’re very lucky in that our whole women’s
programme is funding by a local benefactor, Sir Rod
10 Issue 50
Aldridge, who has been brilliant for the club. They have
their own facility just outside Brighton which is fantastic
for them. Progressing our women’s section is a major
priority for us and we’re working to help the game
develop at various levels as we want to be one of the
leading lights in the women’s game.”
