Sussex Cricket Foundation’s Quiz Night, held in partnership with Barclays Bank on Thursday 24 September, raised an incredible £4.5K to support the Foundation’s Ageing Well programmes, including Walking Cricket and Sporting Memories.

The evening was brilliantly hosted by Jack Hayes, also known as Jack the Lad, and brought together 20 teams for a night of friendly competition, fundraising and plenty of laughs.

Sussex Cricket Foundation would like to thank all the teams who came along to support the event, as well as everyone who donated fantastic raffle prizes and helped make the evening such a success.

Congratulations go to Galloways, who lifted the winner’s trophy at the end of the night.
