We were delighted to welcome fifty-six children representing Liverpool, Sefton, Wirral and St Helens at the Panathlon Challenge on 15th March. Events included boccia, table tennis and cricket, football, electric wheelchair slalom and sports hall athletics.

Tony Waymouth, Chief Operating Officer at Panathlon commented:

“It’s great to be back on Merseyside and to witness the success of a Panathlon event in an area which has been vital to our growth.

Panathlon is a national charity which worked with approximately 13,000 disabled children last year and we are extremely grateful to Greenbank Sports Academy for its help in organising meaningful competitive sporting opportunities at days such as this in the North

West.”Sandfield Park’s PE Teacher Kevin Gauden added:

“It’s been a fantastic day of inclusive competition. Children with a wide range of disabilities have loved having the chance to represent their borough – it’s been brilliant.”

Liverpool were the eventual winners with 56 points, with Sefton second on 50 points.
