Wavertree leading way for visually impaired cricket

CRICKET for the visually impaired comes to Wavertree on Friday and chairman Phill O'Brien thinks it's worth making a noise about.

- 

Thanks to adaptations including a ball which rattles when it bounces, the club regularly hosts sessions at its Sandown Lane base.

O'Brien thinks the numbers are only scratching the surface when it comes to those who could benefit - both in and out of the visually impaired community.

He said: "Of the regular eight or nine who attend practices, they're all within a five-minute journey of Wavertree.

"There have to be other people who are visually impaired who would benefit from team sport."
