What a fantastic night of fun-filled, action-packed cricket.

Last night our Community Reds Inclusion Blast Pirates cricket team were delighted to invite members of Special Olympics Sir Gâr to join us down at Port Talbot Town Cricket Club for 10 overs version of Kwick Cricket.

🏅 What a busy few weeks it has been behind the scenes at Special Olympics Neath Port Talbot!

Our Inclusive Cricket sessions, delivered in partnership with Port Talbot Pirates Cricket Club, continue to go from strength to strength. Working alongside BFL Community Reds and another community partner, we are hoping to introduce even more cricketing opportunities in the near future.

Through BFL Community Reds, we have recently acquired Indoor Short Mat Bowls equipment and are now looking to establish weekly inclusive sessions. To make this happen, we are currently searching for a suitable venue within Neath where training sessions and future league matches can be held.

We are also preparing to launch two exciting new activities:

🏈 Flag Football / Touch Rugby
We are looking for players with intellectual disabilities who would like to get involved in this fun, inclusive sport.

⚽ Inclusive Football Programme
Our new Social Walking Football sessions will provide weekly opportunities to learn, play, and enjoy walking football in a welcoming environment. Participants will also have the opportunity to represent Special Olympics Neath Port Talbot in the Regional Unified Football League and other competitions.

Working with both existing and new community partners, our aim is to continue growing Special Olympics Neath Port Talbot and provide more opportunities for inclusive sport and social activities across our community.

If you would like to find out more, get involved, or share your experiences and ideas, please send us a message or email [email protected].

We look forward to welcoming you to Special Olympics Neath Port Talbot, where together we can ensure that nobody is left on the bench
