Healthy Competition In Disability Schools Cricket

Hampshire Cricket Board's Special Schools programme culminated in 3 end of season tournaments across the county.

In the weeks leading up to the tournament, our coaches worked with pupils in many of the competing schools as part of Hampshire's Chance to Shine programme.

North Walls (Winchester) saw over 7000 runs scored despite four rain breaks.  Unbeaten Oak Lodge (Dibden Purlieu) claimed top spot, the only unbeaten team out of 10 secondary schools which included Guernsey's Le Murier School.  Dove House (Basingstoke) finished a close second.

The cradle of cricket, Broadhalfpenny Down (Hambledon), hosted the primary schools event, where 2015 champions Norman Court (Andover) finished undefeated.  Riverside School (Waterlooville) came  second in the 5 team tournament which was again supported financially by Hampshire Cricket Members (Portsmouth and South East Area).

In eleven matches at Eastleigh's Fleming Park indoor tennis centre, 7 schools scored 5941 runs in the Severe Learning Difficulties tournament.  All were winners in a keenly contested day of cricket.
