The District Pool competition was held at the 101st HQ over two nights,the Junior event (P7-S2) was held on Monday 19th October 2009 and the Senior event (S3-S6) on Monday 26th October 2009. A few boys from the 5th entered the Junior event. Against some tough competition Gregor was knocked out early on, Andrew C reached the semi-finals, & Douglas reached the final. Unfortunately Douglas was defeated in the final but did very well to claim a runners-up medal. Well done to all the boys who took part.A week later it was the turn of the Seniors. Senior boys from throughout the District took part including Cameron & Ben from the 5th. With both of them up against more experienced competition both were unlucky to go out in the opening rounds.
