To round off the summer cricket sessions hosted by Suffolk Cricket and generously sponsored by the Lord Taverners Super 1’s scheme, a Cricket Day was held at the Bury St Edmunds Cricket Club on 29th August. Six Special Olympics Suffolk athletes Jordan, Liam, Donna, Hamish and Ed (plus new recruit, Rueben) joined Norfolk and Cambridgeshire to take part in a mornings coaching where they improved their throwing, catching and batting skills and put all this in to practice after a pizza lunch.

Athletes enjoyed a great day of cricket and they represented Special Olympics Suffolk with pride – many thanks to the coaches, supporters and sponsors. Winter cricket is being planned, more information to follow so watch this space!

Suffolk Cricket is offering FREE cricket sessions to SOS athletes this summer and there are only a few weeks left to take up the offer as the sessions end on 19th August.
