Playing kit

Sunrisers were a women's cricket team that represented the London and East region, one of eight regional hubs in English domestic women's cricket. They played their home matches at various grounds, including the County Cricket Ground, Chelmsford.[1][2] They were captained by Grace Scrivens coached by Andy Tennant.[3][4] The team were partnered with Middlesex, Essex, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire, as well as Marylebone Cricket Club.[5]

Sunrisers won their first trophy in 2024, winning the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy.[6] At the end of the 2024 season, following reforms to the structure of women's domestic cricket, the team was effectively replaced by a professionalised Essex team.[7]
