Paralympic review

Paralympics blind footballWell, it’s over.

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

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.
