No Limits Andrew Slack Memorial Boccia Competition

Bathgate Academy in West Lothian played host to the annual No Limits Multi Sport Club Boccia Competition on Saturday 17^th November, welcoming 67 players from across Scotland and the North of England.

The competition, named in memory of the former No Limits member Andrew Slack, is delivered by a band of dedicated club volunteers including event organiser Elaine McCallum and offers the last competition of the year in Scotland.

The competition was played in great spirits throughout, highlighted through the friendly yet competitive nature of the games.  The competition was split into numerous sections, aiming to provide the best experience for all participants while maintaining fair competition throughout.  The event offered players with a learning and physical impairment the opportunity to play against their peers from clubs across the country, including Right on Target (Forth Valley), Lothian Special Olympics, Dumfries & Galloway Disability Sport, Borders Boccia Club and of course No Limits Boccia Club.

The club also attracted several established and developing players with Scotland squad member, Callum Glasgow narrowly losing out to emerging Fife talent Tyler Mclelland in the Physical Disability section.
