The Ashford school battled through regional rounds to take on 11 other schools at the Home of Cricket, and while they did not take home the trophy, they made memories for life playing at an iconic sporting venue.

PE lead Evie Foster revealed how the students had been massively looking forward to the day.

“It’s an amazing event and the students have all been really excited building up to the event,’ she said.

“It’s all they've been asking about since they got through to the final.

“They've been amazed by all the facilities and how much it has been hyped up, and it is just been a really lovely experience for them. The whole school community is really proud of them for getting here today.”

Table cricket is a fully inclusive, adapted version of the game aimed at young people living with a wide range of learning and physical disabilities played on a table tennis table.
