Sussex Cricket Foundation and Flicx UK Join Forces to Improve Facilities

In a stride towards bolstering grassroots cricket facilities in the county, Flicx UK and the Sussex Cricket Foundation (SCF) have forged a new partnership aimed at helping clubs and local schools to maximise their existing cricket facilities and enabling them to create new places to play.

2G Flicx Pitches have been rapidly growing in popularity in recent years with much expansion in number of teams playing plus large increases in the participation levels especially across women and girls. In the past few seasons Flicx have supplied a number of clubs in Sussex who use the innovative, roll out wicket for matches or training including …

• Balcombe CC
• Burgess Hill CC
• Goodwood CC
• Rottingdean CC

The versatility of the 2G Flicx Pitch is really its star quality as it has a multitude of applications.

“We used our 2G Flicx Pitch a lot last year and it was great”

Marketing and Business Development Manager at Flicx UK Kate Costin is looking forward to working with the Sussex team with Flicx committed to donating a pitch in kind for every 10 pitches sold into the county to go to a good cause project selected by the SCF. There will also be a blue branded SCF batting end located in the FamZone at Sussex matches which interested clubs will be able to come view and test out.

“Here at Flicx, we are keen to profile the versatility of the 2G Flicx Pitch to as many clubs as possible so working with a proactive organisation like the SCF, attending their events, webinars and roadshows is a great way for us to showcase the benefits of Flicx and its many applications for clubs and schools looking to expand their capacity”.

From Sussex Cricket Foundation, Gary Wallis Tayler, Community Cricket Director commented “I had seen and heard about Flicx’ work with the Surrey Cricket Foundation, which is proving very beneficial to cricket, so we were keen to put a similar partnership together. We have lots of clubs in the county who have facility challenges and the 2G Flicx Pitch could be a good solution in many cases, saving clubs time and money in ground preparation and catering for the big increases in demand for pitches that grounds teams are facing”.
