“I am pleased that 10 children have benefited, but had there been better a attendance, more children would have been added to the teams. Not all children perform well academically, therefore, sport is a vital part in the development of a child and shaping their future,” said Dickason.
The trials were for both boys and girls, but a higher turnout of boys was seen.
