Flicx UK, suppliers of the world’s most versatile cricket pitch have donated a branded, blue 2G Flicx Pitch to the Sussex Cricket Foundation (SCF) to support the promotion of community cricket and enrich the matchday experience at the 1st Central County Ground, Hove.
In a stride towards enhancing community engagement and promoting cricket at the grassroots level, Flicx UK has provided a portable blue skills pitch which will serve as a focal point in the newly refurbished FamZone, offering an exciting opportunity for cricket enthusiasts to actively participate in the sport on matchdays while also supporting the Sharks.
Enhancing Matchday Experience
The inclusion of the 2G Flicx Pitch in the FamZone underlines a commitment to enhancing the matchday experience for fans and families alike. Beyond spectating, attendees can now immerse themselves in the action by participating in friendly games and cricketing activities in the fully enclosed zone at the back of the ground.
“Thank you for the support. The pitch looks fabulous! We can’t wait to open the doors to our newly refurbished FamZone🏏”
– Sussex Cricket Foundation
Supporting Sussex Cricket Foundation
Sussex Cricket Foundation strives to promote cricket as a vehicle for positive change within local communities so this pitch will also be able to be transported to different community events and cricket festivals and allow kids to play games on the outfield without any damage to the under surface.
“The SCF continues to make significant strides in advancing it’s mission of inclusivity and accessibility in cricket and I am sure this new pitch will help the foundation to provide an improved match day experience and the opportunity to take cricket to a wider audience”
Flicx UK Marketing Manager Kate Costin
County Board Partnerships
Flicx UK have collaborations with several County Boards now where for every 10 pitches sold to clubs and schools in the county, a pitch is donated to the County Board / Cricket Foundation for projects to grow and develop grassroots cricket and boost community engagement.
Most recently Rudyard Kipling Primary School, Fernhurst Cricket Club and Lingfield Cricket Club in Sussex have purchased from Flicx. Brighton state school, Rudyard Kipling now have the means to play cricket at the school for the first time on a true and consistent surface rolled out on their school field, whilst Fernhurst and Lingfield are both clubs with expanding junior and women’s sections who both plan to use Flicx Pitches on the outfield to host more games whilst saving time and money on wicket preparation plus both are looking to tap into other green spaces such as converting nearby football fields for cricket.
