CRICKET ISNT ALL WE DO
11 June 2018
So many people may not realise but although we put a lot of time in to Blind Cricket... it’s not the only Blind sport we’re involved in.
In 2017, a month after returning from the Blind Cricket World Cup in India (where we were both players), we were off on another adventure... to Cape Town, South Africa!
JD is also a Blind Lawn Bowls World Champ in the B4 category. After the passing of his dad - Bryan - who was also his director Donna was asked to travel with him as his director for the Blind Lawn Bowls World Championships.
There was A LOT of drama to get them there, visa issues - in that the day of their originally booked flight that had no visas so couldn’t travel (!), finding money at the last minute when 2 weeks before the tour they were told they needed to come up with an additional $1,000 each and additional costs to book new flights when their visas finally did arrive... but we got there.
Here’s a photo of the New Zealand team in South Africa.
