Representatives from East Staffordshire’s Able Too United Football Club travelled to Birmingham last month for the annual West Midlands Disability Sports Awards, sponsored by Npower and the English Federation of Disability Sport.

The club had been nominated and reached the final three teams in the ‘Team of the Year’ category; against Warwickshire Bears Wheelchair Basketball Team and the North Shropshire Special Olympics Team.

After a fantastic meal and socialising with many Paralympians, the awards presentation, held at Aston Villa’s home ground, commenced and Able Too United were crowned the 2010 Npower ‘Team of the Year’

The team were awarded the trophy by the Head of Leisure at Birmingham City Council, Steve Hollingsworth and Jordanne Whiley, Britain’s top wheelchair tennis player, who also competed in the Beijing Paralympics.

The accolade recognises the achievements of the team over the past twelve months and also shows that people with disabilities with East Staffordshire can come along and take part in a quality, organised activity and reap the rewards of being involved with such a brilliant club.

If anyone requires further information about the award or Able Too United in general, please contact Neil Brown, Sports Development Officer, East Staffordshire Borough Council on (01283) 505914.
