October 2009. Post 16 pupils were invited to be spectators and the
officials (Roger Allkins and Chris Saunders) came from Claremount
Sports College. The Merseyside Boccia Final consisted of ‘six ends’
with the final end being very close indeed.
The Schools Boccia coach (Frank McDonough) commented after the final
“It was a very close contest in front of a packed out gymnasium,
where the result was decided in the final ‘end’, with Foxfield A
Team coming out on top with 6 points to 4.”Andre Baird (Head teacher
at Foxfield) presented the gold and silver medals to the Merseyside
Champions with pride.This sporting event has had a very positive
impact on the pupils involved, increasing their confidence,
self-worth and the value of being part of a team to achieve a common
goal
