Hundreds to flock to Felpham for sixes fun

Some 172 teams across Sussex will take part over the two days of the Felpham Colts event, ranging from under-six matches up to under-18s.

The event will start at 10am with the younger age groups, running until 5pm for the older years.

Organiser Alex Kearns said: “It is a fabulous occasion – we’re welcoming over 170 teams this year and we are hoping it will be a great success.”

More than 3,000 adults turned up to watch the tournament last year, which will be sponsored by Butlins this time around.

It takes place on the fields by Felpham Community College.
