Renfrewshire kids enjoy the area’s first Winter Games

Around 200 Renfrewshire high school kids took part in the area’s first ever Winter Games last week.

S1 and S2 pupils from Renfrewshire’s high schools were invited to take part in the games at Linwood Sports Centre on Friday – which featured three indoor sports: Ultimate Frisbee, dodgeball and indoor curling.

Councillor Susan McDonald, Renfrewshire Council’s Sports Champion, said: “The 2011 Winter Games is a new and welcome addition to a well-established and popular Secondary School Sport Calendar.

“We have many after school clubs featuring dodgeball and Ultimate Frisbee as a result of pupils requests, so the Winter Games gave our lower high school pupils the chance to enjoy these sports in a larger-scale game situation.”

The winning teams for each category are

-Dodgeball: Castlehead High School
-Ultimate Frisbee: Renfrew High School
-Indoor curling: Renfrew High School
