It can be daunting getting involved in sport again after injury. Team sport can be a great option. There’s the opportunity of camaraderie, equipment is around for you to borrow, and it’s great having team members to learn from, and inspire you! Campbell Message from the Community Integration and Leisure Service at Royal Talbot set about creating a basketball team for ‘first timers’ in early 2010. The team – known on the circuit as Talbot Tornados – has gone on to prove that being new doesn’t mean coming last.
At the end of their forth season of competition, Talbot Tornados put up a feisty display beating their rivals by 6 points in the finals of B Grade in the Knox competition.
