It was great to welcome the Cash for Kids team – Simmo, Alison, Katie, alongside Paralympian Jamie Burdekin, who dropped in to Greenbank Sports Academy for a game of power hockey.
The novice team were thrashed 22 – 3 but everyone had a great time sampling the sport that has been developed at Greenbank for electric wheelchair users.
Cash for Kids have supported the purchase of the wheelchairs, which enable players to pass and shoot the ball, through their work with Variety Children’s Charity.
Regular player Liam, 14, was part of the Greenbank team and was certainly playing to win. There were no hard feelings after the game though as Simmo interviewed him for his post-match summary!
