The Merseyside Police Community Relations Department in Wallasey in conjunction with Pensby Sports College and Mid Wirral Crime Prevention Panel recently hosted a EURO SCHOOLS 2008 Football Festival for young people across the Wirral.
In total, 240 young people aged 9-10 years participated in the 2-day tournament. 24 Primary and Junior Schools were represented which included both girls and boys teams.
The event was run by the School Sports Partnership at Pensby High School for Boys.
Each participating school represented a different European Country on which they were asked to carry out research and carry out a presentation on their findings to the other schools attending.
At the end of the event each young person received a certificate and medal. The winning Schools both received trophies, Sacred Heart in Moreton for the boys and Lingham Primary School for the girl’s competition. A ‘Fair Play Award’ was also awarded to Mount Primary, Wallasey for the boys and Grove Street, New Ferry for the girls.
Youth Coordinator, Constable Colin Newby said, “The young people who attended thoroughly enjoyed the day, playing football and presenting the country research work they had prepared. Our special thanks go to School Sports Partnership for hosting and running the event, and to Mid Wirral Crime Prevention Panel for funding the awards.�
