Brit Oval to host Disability Day

1 June 2005

The Brit Oval is to host a Surrey Cricket Disability Day on Friday June 3, sponsored by Brit Insurance.

The Surrey Cricket Disability Programme is run in partnership with the London County Cricket Association (LCCA) and is part of the five-year Surrey Cricket Development plan.

The day will begin at 10.30am when the first ever Surrey Learning Disabilities Team will play against their Middlesex counterparts.

At 12pm the Blind Ashes will then be re-presented to the England Blind Cricket Team after their victory over Australia at the end of last summer in the first ever Ashes series.

The Blind Ashes are being borrowed for the day from the Lord's Museum to be re-presented to the team.

Then, to round things off, at 2.30pm the recently formed Surrey Visually Impaired Youth Team will take on Sussex.
