No Ball, Ball – Special Recognition Awards Evening, 2025
July 29, 2025
A celebration of people, passion, and the power of MyRounders!
What an unforgettable night we had at our 'No Ball, Ball – Special Recognition Awards Evening, 2025!' It was a fantastic celebration of the amazing individuals and teams who make MyRounders what it is, a vibrant, passionate, and growing community.
From the moment the doors opened, the atmosphere was buzzing. We laughed, we danced, we shed a few tears – and most importantly, we celebrated the people who give so much of themselves to the game we all love.
🌟 Recognising Remarkable People, Players & Teams
We were proud to honour members of our community who go the extra mile – whether that's League Coordinating, Umpiring, leading training sessions in their area, championing the sport within their teams, or shouting loudly about MyRounders at every opportunity. It was a night to spotlight the people who have found their passion in Rounders and help grow the game from the ground up. We also gave some special awards to teams that stand out for their fair- play on the pitch, and for their wicked sense of humour on social media.
There were some incredible, emotional moments – including hearing from Rebecca of the 'Rhondda Rookies' rounders team, who shared her powerful personal journey. The surprise, pride, and joy on so many faces reminded us all just how much rounders means to so many.
🎶 Music, Magic & Dance Moves
A huge thank you to the brilliant band The Scarletons, whose amazing set (and sensational sax player!) kept the dance floor packed until the very end. Their energy was electric and set the perfect tone for a night of celebration.
🎤 Umpire Choir Returns
Our iconic Umpire Choir made another fantastic appearance, delivering a medley of songs and dance routines that once again showcased the talent and creativity that lives within our MyRounders family. The medley ended with a surprise performance by the Gaffa and Johno, our very own version of Ant and Dec – whose hilarious dance routine had everyone in stitches. Truly unforgettable!
🏏 Select XII Squad Trials
We were also proud to invite 16 players from across Wales to trial for our 'Select XII' squad. A huge congratulations to every single one of you, we can’t wait to see what’s next for our team!
A massive THANK YOU
to everyone who came, celebrated, danced, shared stories, and made memories with us. You made the evening truly special!

We’re excited to share that MyRounders has been featured by the National Institute for Sport & Health (NISH) , recognising our commitment to making sport social, simple and inclusive for adults across Wales. 'MyRounders was created to offer fun, low-pressure opportunities for people aged 16+ to be active. With mixed and women’s leagues running in Swansea and beyond, we welcome players of all backgrounds, abilities and fitness levels — with a strong focus on enjoyment, connection and community. Since launching in 2022, the impact has been remarkable. Participants tell us they’ve gained confidence, made new friends and rediscovered their enthusiasm for physical activity. For many, it’s not just about the game — it’s about belonging. One challenge we continue to tackle is changing perceptions of sport. Many adults associate sport with competition or past experiences at school. MyRounders aims to show that activity can be relaxed, welcoming and inclusive, and that taking the first step is the hardest part. Our membership with NISH has been invaluable in supporting this mission. Through the network, we’ve connected with partners who share our vision for accessible movement and community wellbeing. We’re now exploring how collaboration with NISH can help us better understand and demonstrate the wellbeing benefits of social sport. As Julie says: “A simple, social game can make a huge difference to wellbeing and inclusion, and we’re excited to continue growing that impact with support from NISH.” With over 370 teams across 38 leagues in Wales, MyRounders continues to grow — and we’re excited for what comes next. Anyone can get involved. Teams can register online , and individuals can sign up to be matched with local groups. All equipment is provided — keeping everything simple, social and inclusive.'
