It was a day of fun, excitement and rigorous competition at the Golden Grove All-Age School last week when primary schools from across St Ann battled for the top school honour in the St Ann Volleyball Association Primary School competition.
Hoolebury Primary from Runaway Bay defeated Brown’s Town Primary to emerge winners from the group of eight teams which reached the quarter-finals.
Bamboo Primary and Bensonton Primary finished third and fourth, respectively. The top-four teams will represent the parish at the national level.
Vanie Clarke, president of the St Ann Volley Ball Association, said the competition has been aiding in the development of the sport not just at the parish level, but also the national level.
It’s our vision to have volleyball being the major sport being played in St Ann,” Clarke added.
He said it is the dream of the association to see more students playing the sport.
“We want to give them something more than just football. That’s where we see volleyball going and this competition is a stepping stone to it,” Clarke stated.
