Sarries RFC vs Ealing Trailfinders
This week, we celebrated the International Day of Disabled Persons and to mark the occasion, last Saturday, our disability rugby team, Sarries RFC, travelled to Ealing Trailfinders for the PWR match between Saracens Women and Ealing Trailfinders.
The day consisted of a joint pre-game training session with mixed ability players from both clubs. Our participants then formed a guard of honour and took on a half-time crossbar challenge.
Last Saturday was a fantastic opportunity for our participants and their parents to create life-long memories. For many of our participants, they would never have been able to access an experience like that outside of the Foundation, so seeing their joy and excitement of getting to be on the pitch, take part in the guard of honour, and soak up a dominant Sarriesperformance, was incredible.
To show their support, both teams wore odd socks, a symbol of individuality, celebrating differences and Down syndrome awareness. Seeing players wear odd socks gave our participants a sense of empowerment and a visible platform on an important day like this.
