Frimley CC v Surrey VI

A phenomenal success was the view shared around Frimley as Visually Impaired cricket came to town. See below quotes the club has received following the game against the Surrey VI team and click the photo above for all of the photos from the day.

"Good fun this morning really glad you asked me to play, it was a good life experience. I think it taught us sighted people a massive lesson on what it's like to be Visually Impaired and I think it will really help to build the club"
...a Frimley Player

"It just proves that if we can link with individuals and a club that genuinely care about disabilities cricket then anything is possible, if there were only 10 more of you in the county we would have the best 'disability cricket environments' in England"
...Head of Disability Cricket, Surrey Cricket Board

"The Kent VI team are travelling to Frimley on 12th May, it would be really good to have a chat about how Frimley has managed to engage so many people to such an event?"
...Kent County Cricket Club

"Thanks for inviting us to the VI match yesterday, I thoroughly enjoyed it and was sorry we could ot stay longer. It is very reassuring knowing that there is a sport my son can play with his peers when he gets older, Once again, thanks a lot and please let me know next time there is a VI match on"
...Spectator

"If this enlightenment 'and that's the only word I can explain the feeling of my players after the match' is felt or achieved by anyone playing sport regardless if they have a disability or not, then its priceless"
...Frimley Captain

"I'm emailing you because my 6 year old son, has been going on about coming to cricket since it was mentioned to him at the Surrey VI game on Sunday. Could you give me any further information on the coaching sessions and is it ok for him to come along?"
...Surrey VICC Team Captain
