A Day to Remember

The Shield tournament showcased just how much our team has grown in recent months. The players put into practice everything they’ve been working on in training, and the results were clear to see in both performance and teamwork.

Off the court, it was also a great day of connection—catching up with other clubs, sharing tips, and being part of the ever-supportive Goalball UK community.

We’re hugely grateful to Goalball UK for putting on such a well-organised and enjoyable tournament, and to all the supporters, volunteers, and coaches who helped make the day a success.

Looking Ahead

The experience from the Shield will only strengthen us as we move forward. With lessons learned, goals set, and confidence boosted, we’re excited to take the next step in our journey.

Go Wizards!
