Blowfly Cricket – start delayed due to wet grounds

BlowFly Cricket was to start this Friday (12^th October). Due to a lengthy wet spell James Henty is very wet so we have put the start date back a week – Friday 19^th October.

Blowfly Cricket gives young people aged between 5 and 25 years with autism, cerebral palsy and down syndrome the chance to play competitive sport. It also gives families the chance to be involved and enjoy seeing their children having fun and just enjoying life – check out the website link to find more information – here

If someone if your family is affected or if you know someone who would love to participate then please contact Bill Peterkin on here or 0488 110 942
