Stanhope’s Sportsability team attended the County Final Panathlon event. We won our way to this county final with brilliance and resilience. This competition began in January with Sportability and Boccia events, of which Stanhope’s teams won first place in the authority and for Boccia, First in the county.

We have had some fabulous athleticism from Richard with his ten-pin perfection, Faith’s Parachute precision, Haroula’s target tenacity, Alfie’s Ace aiming, Grace’s Boccia blast brilliance, Bentley’s bonzer basketball, and Lucas’ kurling craftiness!

We won a thrilling third place amongst some very tough competition- we were only 11 points behind the winners!

All were magnificent in their events and were the best-behaved team I have had the pleasure of leading.

Well done panathletes.

Mrs Ali.
