The NWCU hosted a fantastic afternoon of disability cricket at the Foyle Arena recently, as part of Cricket Ireland's Cricket Connects programme.
The event was organised by Ireland International Conor Olphert and saw three teams: Glenside, New Horizons and Foyle Down's Syndrome, take part in the mini-tournament.
The Bready bowler said he hoped that the blitz would be the first of many, as the region's Disability programme continues to gather pace.
"It's the first one and our plan is to grow the participation levels with hopefully one of these competitions taking place every six months.
“There is a lot of work going into promoting the sport across all ages and abilities and it is fantastic to see all three teams really enjoying themselves, although there has been plenty of competitiveness as well."

"We'll enjoy today with the aim of attracting more teams to the next one in the early summer."
The North West's Disability programme featured heavily during Friday night's Award Ceremony at the White Horse Hotel, with patrons contributing over £1,000 to the programme funds as proceeds of a raffle.
