Cricket East has been undertaking a full programme of Table Cricket training in several schools across Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire, getting them ready for the Table Cricket County Finals events at the end of February.
Each school gets a minimum of six hours of coaching.
For many young people with a physical or learning disability, participating in cricket and other forms of sport is not possible. Table Cricket provides the opportunity to play in a competitive game of cricket. The emphasis is on teamwork and sportsmanship in an informal and enjoyable environment.
The County Finals will take place on Monday 25 February at Denbigh High School, Luton and on Thursday 28 February at Vivacity Hampton Leisure Centre, Peterborough.
The winning schools from each Final will go on to compete in a Regional Final in May with an opportunity to go through to the National Final in June at Lord’s.
In 2018, we congratulated Denbigh High School in Luton who after winning their Regional Final, achieved a very respectable seventh place at the National Table Cricket Final.
Come along and support our Table Cricket teams!
