On Saturday 4th August Live Active Leisure hosted a Boccia Festival at the North Inch Community Campus, Perth, with teams from Perth, Kinross, Strathearn and Dundee Boccia Club in attendance.
The festival consisted of a 15-game round robin format and all the players received a certificate of attendance for taking part in event. The certificates were presented by Paul Cromwell, Chief Executive of Live Active Leisure.
Nigel, one of the boccia player’s carers, said: “On Saturday we participated in a Boccia Festival at North Inch Campus Perth, a truly spectacular event. The competitors came from Dundee, Perth, and Crieff and many were supported by parents or support workers.
“All ran seamlessly as each team played five matches, yet there was no rush or problems as the referees, scorers and stats crunchers (Darren) showed how to arrange a competition full of smiles.
“As for the competition most matches were closely fought with great sportsmanship and camaraderie.
“A fantastic event – oh and Perth A won, but you know what, everyone was a winner and I’m so glad I was there.
Once again thanks to Louise and her team; you all achieved gold too.”
Results were:
- Perth A – 1st place
- Kinross – 2nd place
- Dundee – 3rd place
- Perth B- 4th place
- Strathearn – 5th place
