West Zone Athletics Results

The results of most of our team are now online, go to : West Zone Ath. Results

Athletics Success - 8 out of 8 relay wins!

In stunning conditions today, the FOS Athletics team performed superbly at the West Zone Athletic Sports at Ilam. For the first time in a number of years we managed to win all the relays we entered - eight out of eight! (see pictures of our four boys' teams opposite - 11 years, 10, 9 and 8 down the blog). It was very exciting! We also had another 20 individual title winners and many other place getters - full results from our FOS team will be out this weekend. A big thanks to all our parents who came to support the team and Mr Holland who was the starter.

We will have a huge team competing at the Primary Sports Canterbury Athletic Championships (Centrals) on Tuesday 30 November at QEII - where all winning relay teams and those placed 1st or 2nd in individual events will represent the West Zone. (only for children in the 9 years category and above).

No Touch this Tuesday

Please note there are no Touch Games at Nunweek Park on Tuesday due to Cup Week.
