Cricket in Brighton

chicane · 24-06-2008, 11:15 AM

Hello,

Is there any casual cricket club/group in Brighton, where one could participate without any kit?

If anybody here knows a place to play and some players, please let me know.

Thank you.

Well there's always the nudie beach - no 'kit' needed there.

But assuming you meant Brighton, Sussex - your best bet looks to be the Brighton and Hove CC. Might be a bit more serious than you wanted, but try for the 4th XI and see how you go.

Never expected to see you again TBH.

Been 27 months.

Yes Brighton and Hove. That's the problem, I have been here a while and haven't seen people on the parks/streets playing cricket. I just want to play informal games. Nobody in school is interested. It's all football...boring

'Fraid you're out of luck, unless you want to bat for the other team.

I think you'd find that's the case with pretty much every town in the UK (well, maybe not in Yorkshire). It was briefly fashionable in late summer 2005 for some reason, but now all the kids want to be footballers again.

Try the Sussex CCC messageboard - www.sussexcricket.co.uk/fanzone/message-board/. You're sure to get some suggestions there.
