The Summer Festival of the Sainsbury’s School Games in Merseyside took place in July at Wavertree Sports Park in Liverpool. County level competitions took place in a variety of sports where young people represented their school or borough. 86 Schools from across Merseyside were able to take part in this event which followed a range of intra and inter schools competitions, set up by the Merseyside School Games Organisers. Over 1,000 young people took part in the summer festival which is organised by the Merseyside
School Games Operations Group.
Teams were also rewarded for demonstrating fair play with a spirit of the games trophy. The spirit of the games values were: determination, honesty, passion, respect, self-belief and team work.
