The East Midlands Derby returns to The County Ground on Friday 6 June (7pm), when the Falcons Men take on Notts Outlaws, with local bragging rights on the line. 

Mickey Arthur’s side produced a dominant performance to defeat the Outlaws in front of a sold-out crowd in 2024, and will be aiming to do the same again on home soil, with East Midlands Derby legend, Samit Patel, set to lead the Falcons.

Renowned for being action-packed games, the East Midlands Rivalry is one of the fiercest in county cricket, and 2025’s edition promises to be bigger than ever.
