SIR Michael Parkinson was caught and bowled for a duck when he visited the Lord’s Taverners Disability Cricket Championships Finals at the Kia Oval.
Sir Michael, the charity’s new president, said: “As a great cricket fan it is always splendid to come to the Kia Oval and watch any form of cricket.
However, days like this are even more special as they highlight the fantastic work being done by the Lord’s Taverners and others to bring cricket to all young people, regardless of ability or background.
“I’m incredibly proud to become president of this wonderful organisation and the Disability Cricket Championships is the first of many programmes I hope to experience during my presidency.”
In the final Newham successfully chased Kingston’s score of 217-3 winning by ten wickets with a score of 219-0.
