I am sorry to inform you that Basil Woods, one of our longest serving Vice President's has passed away. There will be a private funeral.

Here are the up to date Club rules following some amendments approved at the recent AGM

A combined Sussex Martlets and Romany team finished 5^th out of 32 in the 2009 sixes.

Having won the first two matches comfortably we were seeded in the top cup group with the eventual winners from Bangladesh. Their side contained several internationals from its Test squad.

Having lost Matt Walker and two Romany players just before departure our depleted squad punched well above its weight and we would have won one of the lower groups if we had not been seeded after the initial games. Tim Peters batted and bowled well and did not miss a match.  Three of the Romany players have been guests for Martlets in the past and hopefully may go on to be members.

Next years festival will be between the 27^th March and the 4^th April and anyone interested should email Paul Lack as demand is always strong.

Please select  the Fixtures tab to view cricket and golf fixtures for each month. Apply directly to match managers, an early application to play is always welcome!

I am a very old lapsed member and played for the Martlets in the late 40's early 50's. Harold Bartlett was I think the top man at the time.

After leaving Brighton College (William Stewart) I was at RMA Sandhurst and out to Korea were I was wounded and never played for the Martlets again.

I am nearly 80 and feel so strongly that our Government is letting down our wounded servicemen and women that I have decided to make a parachute jump to raise money for Help for Heroes. The details are on my website :-

"Richard Montgomerie made his debut for Northants in 1991, establishing himself as a fine opening batsman there after his graduation from Oxford University in 1994. He made the move south to Sussex in 1999, where he has scored runs consistently and been a member of the sides which won the County Championship in 2003 and 2007 and the C&G-Championship double in 2006. He has formed an extremely reliable opening partnership with the Zimbabwean Murray Goodwin, the highlight of which was an unbeaten partnership of 372 against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge in 2001. He retired after Sussex's third title at the end of 2007 to go into full-time teaching."

Match Managers, can now download or complete online a catering and fee check list from the website. In time those that bank online can transfer money directly to The Martlets but for the time being cheques need to be sent to Richard Moore.
