Westmeadows’ all abilities cricket team might not have won a match yet, but you wouldn’t tell by watching them and the fun their having.
In the second year of having the team, the program continues to go from strength to strength.
Coach Jeff Hubbard said the club was the only in the area which has an all abilities side.
“It’s a feel good community program and it has grown significantly and we’re hoping next year that we can grow it and enter a second team to cater for more players.
“We have a really young group with most of them between 15 and 21, most who had never played cricket before. We have one female and I think there’s only two in the competition.”
Hubbard said the reaction of the players both on game day and training made it worthwhile.
The side will finish its season on Sunday.
“They haven’t had success and have not won a game, but they rock up and they want to get better and improve and play for the right reasons.
“It’s really nice, it’s peeled back to the rarest level.”
Hubbard said they were always after volunteers and helpers to get the side on the park each week.
