There was certainly no shortage of talent at this year’s Grampian Schools’ Boccia Finals with some incredibly close games, impressive tactical attacks and pinpoint accuracy on show.
The final, which took place as part of the 3-part annual League in Aberdeen’s Sheddocksley Sports Centre, saw around 70 pupils from primary and secondary schools across Aberdeen City and Shire battle it out for top points and the referees were not disappointed by the efforts, courteousness and spirit of each and every one of the players.
A massive thanks goes to all of the Active Schools Coordinators from Aberdeen City and Shire who helped on the day, to Grampian Disability Sport’s Cath and Marna who travelled down to officiate the games, to the school staff who accompanied the pupils, and especially to Scott, the Active Schools Assistant at Orchard Brae School, who coordinated the entries and match schedule.
We’re looking forward to what will be an even bigger, better and incredibly competitive League in 2019/2020.
