Devon Cricket are delighted to announce an open morning for Disability Cricket on Saturday 10th January. The idea of the event is to help new people to get involved in the disability organsation within the county and to model / showcase what cricket has on offer to disabled athletes. Devon has a some outstanding role models to aspire to, with the likes of Stephen George of Paignton CC and George Greenway of Exeter CC both representing the England Deaf XI over the last 12months. The former also won the ECB Disability Cricketer of the Year 2014 which was a fantastic achievement. (See the YouTube Clip below)
No matter if you have a disability or not please come along and find out what there is on offer and to get involved in. Cricket has a vast amount to offer people with disabilities whether it be Table Cricket to the on-field game, however it's not just about playing the game. Umpiring, scoring and coaching are integral to the success of disability cricket.
We already have a vibrant Table Cricket pathway in Devon, working in partnership with Active Devon. Regular Table Cricket events take place at venues around the county, helping to engage local schools and communities. 
Devon also host the regional Table Cricket finals which brings the best table cricketers from throughout the region to Devon. We would be committed to engaging new people new people into Table Cricket! Could this be for you? Maybe running your own team, taking part, helping out with organising, or even umpiring and scoring a match might appeal to you.
