On Monday 4 August, the Hampshire Cricket Board welcomed 141 young participants from across its urban programmes - Lord’s Taverners Wicketz, Chance to Shine Street, and the MCC Foundation - to Wellington Sports Centre for the annual Hawks Fest.
The festival featured four separate competitions: Senior Hardball, Development Hardball, Tapeball, and Softball. Despite drizzle throughout the day, the cricket went ahead with players displaying impressive skills and enjoying every moment. Smiles, laughter, and sportsmanship were in abundance as participants refused to let the weather dampen their spirits.
Cricket wouldn’t exist without the incredible volunteers who make the game happen - and now it’s time to give them the recognition they deserve.

Hampshire Cricket Board is thrilled to announce the nominees for our Volunteer of the Month for 2025, showcasing the incredible contributions made by individuals who help strengthen and support cricket in our community. This month’s selection is a testament to the outstanding dedication of our volunteers across the county.
