North West Wheelchair Football League.
Greenbank Sports Academy.
On the 10th December four teams met at the Greenbank Sports Academy in Liverpool.
Halton Hawks (Chesnut Lodge School)
Maghull School
Sandfield Park School
Woodchurch School
Match 1 Halton Hawks 5 v 0 Woodchurch
Match 2 Maghull 2 v 3 Halton Hawks
Match 3 Sandfield Park 8 v 0 Woodchurch
Match 4 Halton Hawks 2 v 2 Sandfield Park
This was an extremely hard fort competition where everyone gave their all. From my point of view having never seen these children play sport before I found it eye opening, not only to see the smiles on their faces but to experience how competitive they all where.
It just seems a crying shame that these hard working schools don’t have the funding they require to do this sort of thing more often, as it is obvious that each child had a great day.
