High-Fives all round at Netball Skills event

MWR sponsored the Netball Skills event at Preston College which saw children from six local primary schools compete to be crowned skill champions.

Teams of five girls and three boys from years four and five took part in six set netball skill tasks including the Zig Zag relay task, chest passing, shoulder passing, sprinting, passing time and target skills.

The competition saw first place go to Eldon primary school, followed by St Gregory’s in second place and St Maria Goretti in third.

Altaf Patel, partner at MWR Solicitors said: “The Netball Skills event is one of many events we have sponsored during this academic year. Sports are a good way for the schoolchildren to improve their health, develop life skills and have fun.”

Organised by Preston City Council’s sports development unit, the event took place on Monday December 1.
