SUPER 1s participants from across the South West came together for a truly memorable day of cricket as they gathered at the CA County Ground to witness the first ever Pan-Disability International cricket match between England and India.

Young people from Super 1 programmes of Somerset, Gloucestershire, Cornwall, Devon, and Wiltshire united to celebrate inclusion in sport by showcasing their own skills on the outfield of the Cooper Associates County Ground, before watching the match.

Following the opportunity to showcase their skills, the Super 1s were treated to the unique opportunity to hear from England pan-disability cricketers Ronnie Jackson and Angus Brown.

The players shared their personal journeys into cricket, speaking candidly about living with disability and how sport became a powerful vehicle for confidence, identity, and resilience.

Super 1s is an ECB programme delivered by the Lord’s Taverners that gives young people with disabilities the opportunity to play regular cricket, develop personal and social skills, and build lifelong friendships.
