The road to Lord's starts now

Table cricket regional finals return with spot in National Finals Day at Lord’s up for grabs.

Our table cricket regional finals are set to begin across the country this week with nearly 70 schools and over 500 young people with a disability eagerly looking to secure their spot for National Table Cricket Finals Day, held at the renowned home of cricket - Lord’s Cricket ground on 9 June. Here, the nine regional winners will chase down the trophy to become the 2023 national table cricket champions.

The nine regional finals, where young people with disabilities from across 34 counties showcase their table cricket skills and teamwork, will each see up to eight teams from local schools compete to represent their region on Finals Day. Three heats will take place at historic international cricket grounds hosting Ashes Tests this summer including Edgbaston, Old Trafford and Headingley, providing a unique opportunity for each participant to compete at such prestigious venues.

This past year has seen over 6,500 young people playing the game, benefitting from immeasurable personal development opportunities through table cricket. Participants learn leadership, communication and endless amounts of key skills whilst travelling to new places and creating friendships with other players.

We would like to wish all schools, teachers and participants the best of luck throughout the competition!
