Top talent shines at Pembrokeshire Boccia Tournament
SOME of Pembrokeshire's most talented young athletes took part in the annual Secondary School Boccia Tournament last month, showcasing impressive skills in the inclusive Paralympic sport. Boccia, a precision ball game similar to bowls, is designed for athletes with physical disabilities and requires competitors to aim their ball as close as possible to a target 'jack' ball. The tournament, sponsored by Valero, was held in the sports hall at Haverfordwest High VC School on Tuesday, April 29. A total of 20 teams from schools across the county took part, including Haverfordwest High, Ysgol Bro Gwaun, Milford Haven School, Ysgol Bro Preseli, Ysgol Harri Tudur, and Portfield School. Matches were overseen by volunteers from Saundersfoot Rotary's Tenderfoot Disability Sports group, Welsh international Boccia player Sian Jones, and Young Ambassadors from Haverfordwest High. After a day of closely contested matches and high-quality play, it was Ysgol Harri Tudur Team 1 who emerged victorious. Dan Bellis of Sport Pembrokeshire said: 'It was fantastic to see so many teams and pupils taking part in such an inclusive activity. A great time was had by all. 'Big thanks to Valero for sponsoring the event, and to all the volunteers and Young Ambassadors for umpiring and scoring the games. A big well done to everyone who took part and made the tournament such a success.'
