CRICKET CLUB CELEBRATES SUCCESSFUL SEASON AT AWARDS CEREMONY

HAILSHAM Cricket Club celebrated and awarded its players at a dinner, dance and awards evening recently. More than a hundred members attended the event which took place at the Wellshurst Golf Club on Saturday 4th November where a host of awards were given out across the evening for the variety of different teams the club runs.

The big two awards were won by Hollie Young who walked away with the Players Player award for her 599 runs and 47 wickets across the 2023 season.

Karen Skinner took home the Club Person of the Year award for spearheading the charity of the year process and raising 3k for seven local primary schools.

DJ Leepy and the photobooth kept the members entertained long into the night and they also enjoyed a slap-up meal at the golf club.

Rob Wilkinson from Hailsham Cricket Club said: “We have some exciting plans for the short and medium-term future of the club and we look forward to the start of the 2024 season with huge amounts of optimism.

“As usual, we are actively looking to recruit new players of all ages and abilities to play Saturday league. Ladies 40 over or the shorter Sussex Slam version of the game. If you are looking for a change of club, moved to the area or want to get back involved with the beautiful game, please get in touch with the club.”
