Cerebral Palsy Sport Ireland

After a total of 8 days of Boccia Matches, 41 Matches and 19 teams participating, the final of the Cerebral Palsy National Boccia League is taking place on Tuesday the 6th July in Ballinteer Community School.

A total of 19 teams started the league in March of this year and over the last 4 months they played each other in their provincial pools.  The teams were split into 2 provinces this year.  Unfortunately we had very few teams representing the west, with only 3 teams from Sligo participating.  To ensure that the sligo teams got a chance to  play in the league, they were incorporated into the Leinster Pool.

During round one, all teams had to play each other to get out of their respective pool and hopefully qualify for round 2.

Round 2 commenced on the 8th June with a total of 3 days of matches being played.  A number of very tight and highly competitive games were played to finalise the last 6 teams  for the final.

The teams that gained a place in the final round are

Sligo Town Boccia Team C

IWA Offaly Boccia Team

IWA Ardee Boccia Team

IWA Sandyford Streamers Boccia Club

Cork Boccia Club

Quinns Cross Limerick

The 6th July promises to be a very exciting and competitive day which will see one team claim the title of All Ireland Boccia League Champions.

On behalf of everyone at Cerebral Palsy Sport Ireland, we would like to thank all the teams that have participated in the league to date.  We would also like to wish the best of Luck to the last 6 teams as they battle it out for the title.
