Suffolk to visit three new grounds
January 14, 2025SUFFOLK men will visit three new grounds during their 2025 campaign.
The season will see the NCCA Trophy 50-over competition played before the T20 competition for the first time.
Suffolk will open their NCCA Trophy Group 2 fixtures with a trip to Fakenham CC to face Norfolk, who are the holders, on Sunday, April 27th.
They will then follow that by visiting Bignall End CC, who are celebrating their 150th anniversary year, to take on Staffordshire on Bank Holiday Monday, May 5th. Staffordshire last played there in 1990.
Both venues will see Suffolk break new ground as will the visit to Sawston & Babraham CC for the NCCA Championship match against Cambridgeshire starting on July 27th.
The fixture list also includes a first visit for 55 years to West Herts CC in Watford, a ground Suffolk first played at in 1906, for a T20 match versus hosts Hertfordshire.
Suffolk Head Coach Adam Mansfield said: “Looking ahead to the new season with Suffolk CCC, I’m excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. We have a talented group of young players coming through, and they’ll be given chances to showcase their skills and make the step up from EAPL cricket.
“Travelling to new grounds adds an element of excitement and challenge, and we hope they suit our strengths. Last season was a fantastic experience that we all enjoyed, but this year our focus is on bringing home silverware for the county.
“Our aim is to become a team that every club and player in Suffolk can connect with, make the step up to support at a higher level, and feel proud to follow. Together, we want to make this a season to remember.”
