Match Preview: Hampshire Men v Durham, Rothesay County Championship
Hampshire Men return Rothesay County Championship action against Durham at Utilita Bowl over May Bank Holiday weekend
Hampshire begin their quest to reach an eighth T20 Finals Day in nine years in less than two months' time, and there's still time for spectators to secure the best value Vitality Blast tickets before the impending Early Bird deadline.
Early Bird tickets will be available for fans to purchase up until 23:59pm on Wednesday 23rd May, after which point tickets will be available at the Advance rate until the evening before all matches.
Seven matches will be contested at the iconic The Ageas Bowl this summer with James Vince's side trying to maintain their fantastic record in the competition, and with four Friday night home group matches in the calendar, this year's Vitality Blast is the ideal beginning to a summer weekend.
The 2018 campaign gets underway on Friday 6th July with a home clash against Glamorgan, whilst the Hampshire faithful will not have to wait too long to witness the 2018 ‘El Clasicoast’, with Thursday 12th July the date set for local rivals Sussex Sharks’ visit to the The Ageas Bowl.
Middlesex then travel to the south coast in the penultimate week of July, before four home fixtures in August against Kent Spitfires, Somerset, Essex Eagles and Gloucestershire round off the group stage.
Those looking to witness every moment of the on-field action can catch all seven matches for one great price with a Vitality Blast Passport - just £99!
