ECB Super9s

The AbilityTeam recorded a fine victory against Derbyshire Falcons on Sunday 5th June at Moddershall CC – Derbyshire scored 105 for 4 wickets in their 30 overs, good contributions with the bat from Sarkib Din, 33NO, Paul Manning 19 and Alfie Crane 13NO saw the team over the line with 3 overs remaining. A great days cricket in front of Bill Higginson, President of the British Association of Crickets with Disabilities.

Unfortunately Lancashire are unable to field a team this season in the Super9s competition and so the guys have missed out on a couple of fixtures; Sunday 10th July sees the team travel to Thongsbridge CC for the return fixture v Yorkshire

Our Ability Cricket sessions are proving popular at Lichfield CC, Newcastle & Hartshill CC, Moddershall CC, and Tutbury CC – contact Steve for more information
