Debra Jeffris, Down Syndrome NSW eUpdate #1 February 2014
Sam from the South Coast and Jordan from the Central Coast met through Special Olympics and have become great mates. This picture is of them at the T20 cricket in Sydney. It was snapped just as they spotted themselves on the big screen! They had an absolute ball all day playing cricket with Special Olympics followed by going to the evening game at Homebush.
Sam has just come back from Adelaide where he played for the NSW B team. It was hot (45 degrees on the Saturday) but he loved making new friends and the group of 25 boys and young men were beautifully behaved for the 4 days we were there. There was lots of hugging, fun and laughter. NSW didn’t do so well in the cricket but they were definitely the happiest, the most enthusiastic and the loudest!! A great experience.
