On the Sunday 4 December, Cerebral Palsy Sport embarked on a new venue for the National Table Cricket Community Finals. Bringing together the top table cricket teams in the country, to battle it out and see who would be leaving National Community Champions of 2016.

It was an early start for the volunteers,  who made sure the stage was set for the competitors and officials. The competition was run as a round robin to ensure there were as many games played as possible.

Seven teams took part in the finals this year, they were Linkage Lemurs, Kingsmill Knights, Foresight Foxes, Clare School, Bradley Stoke Community, Portland College and Wilson Stuart Daredevils. It was an intense morning session with all to play for and the afternoon saw some tight games, with matches being won in the last over.

Cerebral Palsy Sport would like to thank Worcestershire University Students and Bradley Stoke Community School who supported the day with umpires, the volunteers. As without them the day wouldn’t be possible and especially the coaches and players who continue to provide what is a fantastic National Finals day.
