Boccia (not Special Olympic event)

This competition was the final of the Heathcote Cup, held in Sheffield. Heats were held in Newcastle and Guildford earlier this  year. Andrew and Christopher both qualified for the final during the heats in 1st and 3rd position. This was the highest standard that we competed in and all played really well.

Andrew was pipped at the post for 3rd place in the last game! He finished 4th. Christopher finished 5th.

A really good day, meeting up with some  friends that we have met at previous Boccia tournaments.

                   Well done Andrew and Christopher!
