The school were one of ten teams that had fought their way through regional competitions to win a place at Finals Days, held inside the Nursery Pavilion at Lord’s Cricket Ground. And with Lord’s Taverners President and cricket legend David Gower and current England star Reece Topley among those watching on, Wirral prevailed in a nail-biting final that went down to the very final ball. This past year has seen over 6,500 young people playing the game, benefitting from immeasurable personal development opportunities through table cricket.

It’s such a big deal for us to be here at the Home of Cricket.”The Lord’s Taverners impacts the lives of young people facing the challenges of inequality.
