Thanks to support from Fife Council and Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, Disability Sport Fife members enjoyed another successful Indoor 5s football and unihoc championships at the Michael Woods Sports & Leisure Centreon Thursday 8th March. The championships are part of the Annual Fife Sports Festival which has been running in Fife since the mid 70s.
Junior and senior teams from throughout Fife participated and the occasion was enjoyed by all. Unihoc umpiring and football refereeing were in the hands of Disability Sport Fife volunteers Aileen Penny and Neil Martin supported by a team of young volunteers. Medal and trophy presentations were conducted by Raith Rovers manager Barry Smith.
All sections were keenly contested with Balwearie HS and Lochgelly HS sharing the junior honours in unihoc and Balwearie HS leading in football. For the first time senior players were organised into mixed member teams to develop relationships and address the changing demographics of ASN team games in Fife. The new set up was well received by players and support staff.
