Boccia teams battle it out

Boccia teams from across the County took part in the 2013 Adult Boccia competition which was held at Milford Haven Leisure Centre. The tournament was organised by Sport Pembrokeshire – Pembrokeshire County Council’s sports development arm - and Disability Sport Wales and a record 13 teams entered this year’s event.

 

They included Portfield Social Activity Centre (2), Young Vipers (2), St David’s Care in the Community (2),  Avenue Social Activity Centre (2), Anchorage Social Activity Centre (2), Pembrokeshire College (2) and  Crymych Panthers.

 

Young Vipers strike to win

 

The competition was won by Young Vipers ‘1’ who beat Anchorage ‘A’ in the final and both winners and runners up were presented with trophies by Will James from Valero, which sponsored the event.

 

Angela Miles, disability sports development officer for Sport Pembrokeshire said the standard of play had been extremely high.

“The high standard, coupled with the record number of teams which entered the competition, is a reflection of the growing popularity of the sport,” she said.

 

The competition was refereed by Charles Hopkinson and Jim Ball of Saundersfoot Rotary and Liz Jones, coach at Crymych Panthers.
