Simon Penny YTFC DSA Member

​

My name is Simon and as well as supporting Yeovil Town I play cricket for Somerset disability team.

Our home ground is at Taunton Deane just behind Vivary park. Training is at the centre of excellence in the Somerset county ground.

We are a mixed bag of players with various abilities and skills and our disabilities are all different but that doesn’t stop us from playing and having fun.

We won all our matches and for the second year running we were in the semi finals up in Nottingham, up against a stronger team who beat us. We have an awards evening to celebrate all our accomplishments 

I won the managers player award  for all my hard work and commitment,

Tom Abel the Somerset captain came along to present the awards.

I am vice captain of a younger team called the dragons, this is a game with slightly different rules aimed to encourage and include both girls and boys.

I also play bowls for the visually impaired and wheelchair basketball.

I am quite happy to talk to anyone interested in my activities.
