Commenting on the tournament and providing some background to Cricket Wales the Cricket Development Officer, Joe Lambe said:
“Just want to say a huge thank you from all of Cricket Wales for you giving up your valuable time yesterday to present trophies and medals to everyone.
“Cricket Wales works in partnership with Lords Taverners, the national cricket charity, who provide funding to Cricket Wales to work in SEND schools across the country.

“I am extremely grateful to the whole team for their hospitality and warm reception. The children were a delight and it was a pleasure to reward them for their hard work and dedication.
“It is very promising to see all the work that Cricket Wales do for our local community. The support they give SEND schools is extremely welcome and should be commended.
“I hope that they can continue with their hard work and I look forward to supporting them in the future.”
