Paralympic review

Well, it’s over.

I had a great day at the Paralympics last Thursday watching 3 of our athletes competing in the Blind Football playoffs.

Dan James, Robin Williams and Keryn Seal were part of the GB team that tied their match against China at full time 1-1.

This led to a penalty shoot out which GB lost. The boys then played in the 7/8th playoff against Turkey on Saturday where they won 2-0.

No amount of training can guarantee a victory.

The boys were in a reflective mood that afternoon when we caught up. They have all improved immensely over the last year, but so has everyone else.

Time for a much needed break for them, then we shall we resume in two weeks time.

Well done too to Judith Hamer who was part of the GB wheelchair basketball team that also came 7th.
