The annual event, bringing together teams of players with intellectual disabilities from around Australia, saw WA achieve fourth place.

One WA player, Grant Cross from the Lord's Taverners, being selected in this year's All Australian team to compete against England and South Africa in November in the Tri Nations Series, to be played in Victoria.

Grant was one of eight players selected for the WA team from across the metropolitan area.

Recreation & Sport Network has worked with Indoor Sports Australia to select and manage the team, and Recreation & Sport Network Sports Development Officer Leah Sumich travelled as the Team Manager.

A farewell luncheon took place at the WACA on 14 June with Lord's Taverners WA President John Moody and WACA CEO Graham Wood presenting the team with their uniforms.

Recreation & Sport Network is a not-for-profit organisation based in Perth that works with sporting groups to promote and assist with inclusion of people with disabilities into mainstream sports – in some cases helping those people to achieve national glory.
