5-a-side Soccer Lunchtime Competition
The indoor competition got off to a strong start on Tuesday, with teams arriving ready to battle. The Senior Boys played in the Senior Gym, showcasing some very fast and furious moves down the court. The games were close, with plenty of crowd participation from the sidelines. The Junior Gym hosted the Girls and Junior Boys camp. Despite being slightly shortened due to an imaginary hailstorm, the competition remained lively, featuring some amazing goals both defended and scored.
Please come and support your team from the table tennis areas at either gym during lunchtime on Tuesdays, in weeks 4/5 and week 7 for the finals.
