Vitality Blast tickets are now on general sale! Here’s why you should come to Utilita Bowl this summer to watch the Hawks in Vitality Blast action
The Vitality Blast comes to Utilita Bowl on Friday 30th May where Hampshire’s men and women kick off their 20-over campaigns.
Tickets for our eight matchdays are now on general sale, with Vitality Blast Passports – which grant access to all eight matchdays at Utilita Bowl – are available at the Super Early Bird rate of just £99.
Be sure to secure your place to watch top tier sporting entertainment and indulge in the best food county cricket has to offer.
Thwack! Watch out in the stands, the ball has gone sailing into the crowd! Leap out of your seat and cheer on as James Vince, Freya Kemp, James Fuller, and Georgia Adams go aerial and send the ball flying to all parts of Utilita Bowl.
Keep an eye out for men’s signing Lhuan-dre Pretorius who lit up the SA20 last month along with Maia Bouchier, one of the most stylish batters in the game, as they pepper the boundary boards.
Spectacular Catches
Screamer. Blinder. Belter. Whatever you want to call them, you’ll be sure to find them at Utilita Bowl in the Vitality Blast.
Watch as players seemingly defy physics as they launch into the air, stick out a hand, and grab hold of the ball whilst you keep turning your head trying to see where it’s gone. It’s in their hand. How on Earth have they done that?
Best View In Cricket
Up in the heights of the Colin Ingleby-Mackenzie or Shand Warne stands or ground level, wherever you are, you are guaranteed a spectacular view of some of the best players in the world.
From the very top of the main stands, you can even see as far as the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, with the rolling hills of the Meon Valley to the north of the ground past Hilton Southampton – Utilita Bowl.
Take in elite sporting action in one of the most picturesque venues in the country.
Bowling Rockets
Turner. Bell. Baker. Kemp. Quick bowlers firing on all cylinders – there aren’t many better sights in cricket than stumps cartwheeling out the ground and the bails sent flying in the air.
Try to keep an eye on the ball as it’s released from the hand. Blink, and you’ll miss it.
Do you think you could react quick enough to hit the ball 80 metres into the stands?
Wild Celebrations
Arms out, passionate screaming, or a subtle finger in the air whilst running past the batter.
Get involved in the celebrations when the stumps are sent soaring, the umpire’s finger is raised, and when a catch is held in the deep.
Cole Palmer has got nothing on James Fuller or Mary Taylor.
Best Food In Cricket
Enjoy a wide selection of savoury and sweet treats that will leave you salivating.
Burritos, pizzas, burgers, gyros, churros, Utilita Bowl has them all, and more spread across the concourse along with our self-service bars located at the end of Hilton Southampton – Utilita Bowl on the West Berm and the Rod Bransgrove Pavilion on the East Berm.
The G.O.A.T.s
The leading run scorer in the history of English T20 cricket.
The top run-getter in regional cricket history.
Captains James Vince and Georgia Adams lead from the front.
Watch in awe of Vince’s elegance at the crease as he caresses the ball to the boundary before he unleashes his power with a pull shot.
See how Georgia’s Malinga-esque action bamboozles batters, and her commanding straight drives that go sailing over the rope.
Vince has five centuries and 41 fifties to his name in the Blast – how many more can he add to that tally in 2025?
Can Georgia lead the side to the first Women’s Vitality Blast title?
Trophy Winning Teams
The most successful men’s and women’s teams in T20 history.
With a combined six titles, our sides are head and shoulders above the competition when it comes to winning titles.
The Hawks have a stellar record in the Vitality Blast – the best out of all eighteen counties.
They have reached Finals Day a record ten times, with the joint-most wins in the country having lifted the T20 trophy three times in 2010, 2012, and most recently in 2022.
Southern Vipers, now the Hampshire Hawks women’s team, are no stranger to silverware either.
Charlotte Edwards’ team have been crowned T20 champions three times – in 2016, 2022 and 2023 - more than any other team in the professional era of women's cricket.
