THE Scotland National Cerebral Palsy Football Team has climbed eight places in the world rankings following a successful World Championships campaign.
The team travelled to Sardinia where they beat hosts Italy 6-0, South Korea 7-0 and Chile 7-2 in the group stage. They then progressed to the semi-finals where they beat Japan 5-1 before falling just short in the final against Colombia, suffering a tight 3-2 loss.
Speaking to The National, team manager Greig Taylor said: “Six years ago we lost all our funding and the team was disbanded. We had two options at the time which was either let it happen or do something about it. We didn’t have any money but we stuck together and the boys wanted to keep fighting.
