East & West Leicester throw their way to pole position in the School Games Boccia Finals!

Last week on the 8th May, Boccia Super Series Level 3 finals was all to play with schools across 4 districts making it to this stage. Ibstock Community College hosted the tournament as the teams competed for glory!

It was close scoring rounds between the teams with nothing to play for, but it was: East Leicester's Crown Hills Community College in the Mild Learning Disability (MLD) and West Leicester's West Gate School in the Severely Learning Disability (SLD) throwing their way to pole position.

The Spirit of the Games Winners shouldn't go unnoticed as each of the winning team demonstrated by example that it's not all about winning, showing great endeavour to the game, sportsmanship and team spirit!

The results of the final positions follow as:
