Cambridge Dons Goalball Club

We had a wonderful day at the intermediate tournament yesterday!

We came 5th in the end, winning two games and losing two games. We played well and fought for every minute.

We started the season as a development team and were delighted to welcome members from Chelmsford Goalball Club.

On Saturday, we were a true composite with Catrin from South Wales joining us, who won player of the day! Congrats, Catrin!

Thank you being our Assistant Coach, Jacob from Watford Goalball Club!

We did loads of drills and honed our skills ready for our next tournament! Up the Dons!

We had two teams in today’s regional tournament because we’ve had a couple new recruits… who did their FIRST tournament and SMASHED it!

Here’s a Team shot Cambridge Town and two photos of Team Gown playing.

We had a short but fun tournament! Won one game, lost two. Still plenty to learn and we were happy to welcome Chris from Chelmsford Goalball Club

We had a fantastic training session to finish off 2025!

Lee from Chelmsford Goalball Club had a cracker of a day at the Cambridge Friendly last week.

Not only was he Top Male Goalscorer and his team won the tournament, he was also voted Most Supportive Player.

He really stood by and helped his team. He also tempered his shots for newer players on opposing teams. An embodiment of the spirit of the Friendly. Well done, Lee!

The big award of the Friendly tournament is ‘Player of the Day’ - nominated by the coaches throughout the day.

This year’s winner was Vinnie from Oxfordshire Goalball Club. Not only was he one of the top male goal scorers but he truly supported his team mates throughout the day. It was very impressive to witness.
