Essex Cricket is excited to work alongside Southend United Football Club, uniting two of the county’s sporting organisations to strengthen ties within our local community.
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to engaging with communities, promoting health and well-being, and creating inclusive opportunities for fans of all ages.
Together, the clubs will deliver joint initiatives, cross-sport events, and memorable experiences that celebrate the power of sport.
One of the first milestones in this partnership is the ‘On the Ball! Networking Event,’ an exclusive gathering for Essex businesses, taking place at the Cliffs Pavilion in Southend on Tuesday 11 February 2025.
Daryl Townson, Commercial Manager at Essex Cricket, said: “Essex Cricket takes immense pride in engaging with our community, and building strong relationships with the region’s sports clubs is an important factor.
“Our partnership with Southend United exemplifies this, and we’re thrilled to collaborate on initiatives like the ‘On the Ball! Networking Event,’ strengthening ties across Essex through sport.”
Rylee Doe, Commercial Manager at Southend United, commented: “This partnership with Essex Cricket is a natural fit, bringing together two iconic institutions that hold deep roots in the Essex community.
“At Southend United, we believe in creating meaningful connections that go beyond the pitch.
“By collaborating with Essex Cricket, we’re excited to introduce innovative initiatives that not only celebrate the love of sport but also contribute to the well-being and unity of our local community.”
