Following its launch last month, the adult section of the Komatsu Cumberland Ability Counts League has started a competitive programme of matches.

Teams from across the county will be playing in the Premiership, Championship 1 and 2 and the Super League divisions.

The divisions were confirmed ahead of the event and teams will be playing as follows:

Premiership 

  • Carlisle Spartans Unique Ability
  • Carlisle City Deaf
  • Border City Greens
  • Workington AFC Hoppers 

Championship 1

  • Carlisle Reivers Cheetahs
  • Workington AFC Marras
  • Carlisle Spartan Spears

Championship 2

  • Carlisle Spartan Assassins
  • Whitehaven Warriors
  • CUFC Community Trust Blue
  • Workington AFC Vulcans

Super League 

  • CUFC Community Trust
  • Denton Lynx
  • Penrith AFC Blue Stars

Representatives of new sponsors Komatsu Forest Ltd enjoyed the football when the first games were played and also provided each player with a bag full of Komatsu goodies,

Ray Sempill, Cumberland FA’s football development officer, said: “The disability teams provide regular playing opportunities for pan disability players across Cumberland and they continue to grow providing more age groups and more opportunities thanks to their fantastic volunteers, both on and off the pitch. 

“Over the last couple of events, we have also welcomed our new sponsors Komatsu Forest Ltd who have shown fantastic support since coming on board to support the programme for junior and adult players across Cumberland.”

This week, teams from across Cumberland travelled to Penrith to play in an event organised for day service providers.

Teams from Hensingham, Cockermouth, West House Workington and Denton Lynx participated in the small sided event at the leisure centre in Penrith, with the right atmosphere for providing a fun and positive environment for the players to enjoy their football.

Bee Unique, Carlisle Reivers, Penrith AFC, Whitehaven AFC and Workington Super Diamonds entered the second junior event of the season at the weekend at Lakes College, Lillyhall. The weather forecast did not deter the teams and there was plenty of game time for the Under 12s.

This month, the Darren Buchanan Values Shield was presented to Workington Super Diamonds who demonstrated fair play and sportsmanship throughout the event.

One of the officials for the event said: “It all went amazing. Lots of smiles and positive football played. Workington Super Diamonds won the Darren Buchanan Values Shield as they shared roles like goalkeeping and captaincy, they looked out for one another, they involved one another and they are developing as a team!” 

During the Junior programme this season there are also opportunities for Under 8, Under 16  and Under 21 players to get involved.

Stephen Bellas, managing director of Komatsu Forest Ltd, said: “Komatsu Forest is honoured to sponsor and be a part of the success of the Ability Counts League, supporting the remarkable players in both the junior and adult sections.

“The commitment and skills displayed by the players, along with the dedication of the coaches and support, have been truly incredible to witness. We look forward to continuing our support for this fantastic league in the years to come.”
