Sussex Sharks v Kent Spitfires, 6 July at Hove
Tomorrow, Thursday 6 July, the Sussex Sharks will be aiming to take the Kent Spitfires down. There’s all to play for as the Sharks are currently vying with the Spitfires and the Essex Eagles for the top place in the Twenty20 table.
Following the overwhelming success of last Friday night, additional food and drink outlets have been arranged to cater for the expected full-capacity crowds that Twenty20 nights bring, ensuring that the experience is even bigger and better than Friday!
It’s going to be an unmissable match and there are still plenty of tickets to be had, we’ve sold 80% of our capacity but we want to make that 100%! Tickets will be available from the Ticket Office at the ground until 3pm on Thursday and then from 5.30pm when the gates open. Get down to the County Ground tomorrow and show your support for the Sussex Sharks and their fight to get a Quarter Final place.
Gates open 5.30pm and the game starts at 7.30pm. Prices in advance £12 Adults, Seniors and Students, £6 Under 16s. On the gate £15 and £7.50.
