Eight-year-old Coby Tandy from Pontypridd, Wales, who has cerebral palsy, has been selected to represent Europe at the European Blackball Association Nations Cup in Gibraltar, Spain, this April. Despite mobility challenges, Coby regularly competes against adults in UK disability pool events and has become a popular TikTok star for his skillful drills. His father, Luke Tandy, says he is now the youngest disabled player to compete at an international level. Coby will face opponents from around the world at the Europa Sports Complex in Gibraltar, with his family fundraising to cover travel and equipment costs.
