The inclusive zone basketball (IZB) team at Haverfordwest High VC School has been praised after coming runners-up in the Wales National IZB finals for the second consecutive year.

The sport of IZB is a cross between basketball and wheelchair basketball, with teams of four; two players in wheelchairs and two running players.

The Welsh finals were held in Cardiff on Thursday, March 7.

Haverfordwest beat three teams; Woodlands Merthyr (16-2), Aberteifi 2 (14-6), and Aberteifi 1 (14-4), before losing to Caerleon 8-4.

Dan Bellis, Active Young People (AYP) Officer, congratulated the team for their excellent performance and thanked the coach Nicola Hayton for training the team to a high standard and Adele Bevan who helped on the day. Both are current Sport Pembrokeshire Young Ambassadors.

The Cardiff finals followed a Pembrokeshire Schools IZB competition won by Haverfordwest High School in February.

Five schools - Ysgol Bro Gwaun, Ysgol y Preseli, Portfield School, Greenhill School and Haverfordwest High School - participated in the round robin competition.

Haverfordwest High were the outright winners, winning all five matches on the day.

The games were refereed by Jack Woods, a coach at Pembrokeshire Hurricanes wheelchair basketball club, and he was assisted by Nicola Hayton.
