The new cricket season is not too far away.

Plans at Buxted Park Cricket Club are well advanced to make it another successful and memorable summer

It come after two of its three senior teams in the Sussex Cricket League secured promotion in 2021, while its other team narrowly missed out on a third success.

The club are delighted to announce that their new main sponsor for the 2022 season will be local Uckfield firm, Black Rok Kitchen Design – the club are very grateful for their support.

At the end of last season, the club carried out major restoration work on the ground at Buxted Park, and despite the wet weather over the past few months, they will have a first-class surface to play on in the summer.

Winter nets are due to start next month and, weather permitting, they will be training outside at the ground at the end of March. Former Sussex fast bowler Will Sheffield continues as head coach, overseeing junior training on Friday nights and the regular senior sessions on Tuesdays, while extra practice will begin on Thursdays.

In addition to the Saturday league fixtures, there will also be a full programme of cricket for both junior and senior players on Sundays.

The club would also like to welcome new players of any ability, young or old. Please contact robert.hunter@woodreedvineyard.com.

Sponsorship opportunities are also still available – for further details, please contact Nick Bolton at nick@chillaxhotels.co.uk.
