🏏 Celebrating our Derbyshire Disability Pathway! 💙🩵

What a fantastic evening we had on Friday 23rd October celebrating the achievements, dedication and progress of our Derbyshire Disability Pathway cricketers! 👏

The celebration was a brilliant opportunity to recognise the hard work of our players, celebrate their successes and reflect on the positive impact cricket has on confidence, friendships and personal development.

At Derbyshire Cricket Foundation, we believe cricket should be a game for everyone. Our disability pathway continues to provide opportunities for players to develop their skills, enjoy the game and be part of an inclusive cricketing community.

We presented a Special Recognition Award to a player from each group in the Pathway, Huge congratulations to Yuvi Patel (D40), James Arthur (S9 Regional) and Toby Webb (S9 Challenge).

A huge thank you to all our players, coaches, families, volunteers and supporters who make this pathway so special. ❤️

Here's to more opportunities, more achievements and more unforgettable moments together! 🏏
