Yesterday, Biddick School hosted the Tyne and Wear Level 3 Boccia Competition.
Wingrove Primary School travelled to represent Newcastle for the second year in a row and participated in an event boasting 10 teams.
The Boccia 12's shortened version of Boccia has been developed by Boccia England and involves 2 teams of 3 players, playing 2 ends, with each team playing 6 balls with the objective being to get the closest to the jack.
Wingrove Primary attended with 2 teams of 3 and took on other teams from across Tyne and Wear. Once all fixtures had been played Wingrove Primary 2 were awarded bronze medals after securing 3rd place.
The young people, from Fenham in Newcastle, were over the moon with their medals and couldn't wait to get back to school to share their success. Those representing Wingrove always stand out in their school T-shirts.....
Huge thanks must go to Biddick School for hosting and all involved in the organisation of the event, with a special mention for those leaders taking up referee and event organiser roles on the day. All the children in attendance wore smiles on their faces.
WELL DONE WINGROVE PRIMARY!
