Sussex Spitfires showdown update
Our Sussex Spitfires team recently enjoyed a friendly Showdown match against the Coventry Comets! Members Sam, Ellie, Zehra and staff member James took part in an exciting competition, with Sam and Ellie making it to the final round. Sam came out on top, though Ellie gave him a real challenge with her resilience and skill. The whole team had a great time, making it a memorable day for all.
We’re also thrilled to announce that Sam has been selected to represent Team GB at the Showdown Championships in Poland this November! We’ll be streaming the competition live at the SSW Centre from November 28th to 29th—come and cheer him on with us.
It’s been fantastic to see so many members getting involved with Showdown at SSW, taking on this new sport and already competing on national and international stages. Best of luck to Sam—we’re all behind you!

We’ve been chosen by British Blind Sport to launch our own showdown club.
Showdown, a dynamic sport originally designed for those with visual impairment, is open to everyone. Players use flat, paddle-type bats on a specially designed table, aiming to score points by hitting the ball off the side wall, along the table, under the centre screen, and into the opponent’s goal. The first to reach eleven points, leading by two or more, wins. Each player serves twice in a row, and scoring involves goals and penalties. Join us for an inclusive and thrilling showdown experience!
We now have our Showdown table, funded by British Blind Sport. We have a regular Showdown slot here at the Centre from 2-4pm on Fridays, and also hold other one-off events. If you are interested in finding out more contact James at the Centre.
