Some 84 players descended upon WJ Sports Centre in Walsall for the weekend of competition, including 11 from Special Olympics Sandwell.Competitors came from across the country, with 48 players from the West Midlands, made up of players from Sandwell, Shropshire, Birmingham, North Staffordshire and Sutton Coldfield.
Due to the pandemic, this is the first opportunity a lot of the players have had to play in two years. "We were cancelled last year for our week-long special Olympics, which we hold in a university town or city," Norma said."Events like this are so important, they train hard and do their best with the skills they have learned."They play against someone of a similar level and they all get to play the same number of games.
