Shrewsbury College Pan-Disability Football Tournament
Shrewsbury College have marked an impressive first year competing in the Association of Colleges West Midlands 7‑a‑side Pan‑Disability Football League, finishing second in their home tournament and securing a top‑three position overall in the league standings.
 
The competition brought together eight colleges from across the region - City of Wolverhampton College, Birmingham Metropolitan College, Stoke‑on‑Trent College, North Warwickshire & South Leicestershire College, Heart of Birmingham Vocational College, Hereward College, Sandwell College, and Shrewsbury College - each taking turns to host a festival-style tournament throughout the academic year.
 
Pan‑Disability football is one of the largest and most inclusive formats of disability sport in England. It brings together players with a wide range of disabilities to compete in mixed‑ability teams, ensuring football is accessible, welcoming, and enjoyable for all.
 

Shrewsbury College was proud to host the penultimate tournament of the season at our London Road Campus. The home side rose to the occasion, finishing 2nd on the day, earning silver medals! We'd like to send huge congratulations to Birmingham Met College for taking the top spot and gold medals home.
