East Sussex have a county team, called the Arrows, that compete in the national inter county championship. The ICC represents a fantastic way for English counties to pit their best and brightest players against each other in friendly but competitive games throughout the season.
County teams are placed into groups and must play against each other to determine their group standings. Once the group stage is over, a knockout process begins until the strongest counties prevail in three tiers: Premier 1, Premier 2 and A tier.
Players are chosen at various times of the season based on observed performance and ability, as well as trial dates set throughout the season. It is open to any member who is affiliated to the county and ESMBA. If you want to apply to take part, then please contact the county team manager, Edward Law.
