Norfolk County Cricket Club continues its partnership with Fosters Solicitors

Norfolk CCC is delighted to confirm the continuation of its partnership with Fosters Solicitors, building on a successful relationship first established in March 2024.

Initially launched as an Associate Sponsorship, the partnership marked Fosters’ first step into local cricket – supporting both the senior county game and grassroots development across Norfolk. Since then, the relationship has gone from strength to strength, reflecting a shared commitment to community, sport, and collaboration.

The continuation of this partnership follows a particularly successful period for Norfolk County Cricket Club which has seen them win back-to-back national trophies. In 2024, the team secured the One Day Trophy for the fifth time, before making further history in 2025 by lifting the National Counties Cricket Association T20 Cup for the first time.

Over the past year, the partnership has created valuable opportunities to engage with the local community, connect with supporters, and strengthen relationships between sport and business across the region.

Mike Hanby, Chair of Norfolk County Cricket Club, said: “We are delighted to be continuing our partnership with Fosters Solicitors. Their support has been incredibly valuable to the club, both in helping us grow and in strengthening our links with the wider community.”

“The past couple of seasons have been hugely successful for us, and having a partner that shares our drive and ambition makes a real difference. We look forward to continuing this positive relationship and building on our successes together.”

Fosters Solicitors’ Commercial Director, Will Hoy, commented: “We are incredibly proud to be continuing our partnership with Norfolk County Cricket Club. Over the past year, we’ve seen first-hand the positive impact the club has across the county – from elite competition through to the development of future talent.

“Their recent success is a testament to the dedication and ambition of everyone involved, and it’s fantastic to see the club thriving at such an exciting time. We’re looking forward to building on this relationship and continuing to support cricket across Norfolk in the seasons ahead.”

The partnership continues to play an important role in supporting the club’s ongoing development, while also strengthening the connection between local businesses and the sporting community.
