The PKDS champs were competed over two weekends in August due to the venue needing to be changed. The event was held at the UHI Perth at the Academy of Sport and Wellbeing on the Saturday 10th and Sunday the 18th of August. Due to the new venues numbers had to be capped to ensure the competition ran smoothly for all the competitors. In the end 74 players competed in three categories. Across both weekends there were close matches from the beginning to the very end.
Graeme Doig the PKDS branch co-ordinator had this to say “It was great to see so many people from across the country come together to play competitive against each other. I am delighted to see the numbers grow locally across all categories which shows the work we are putting in to develop boccia in Perth & Kinross is starting to generate more confident, skilful players. It’s also brilliant to welcome such high calibre officials to support our event, again with a large cohort from our local sessions”
Boccia was also a featured in the Muscular Dystrophy UK event in Grangemouth on the 24th of August. Where participants got to engage in boccia and get coached and a Q&A with Scott McGowan who is one of the Scotland boccia coaches.
