Nessfield Primary Schools
Girls and Boys teams won their respective
competitions and Sports Minister, Richard Caborn
was on hand to present the trophy's as the
school represented both Croatia and Belgium at
Yorkshire Water's Cool Schools tournament in
Huddersfield |
| |
|
|
|
The event, which is
supported by the West Riding County FA, promotes the
company's "Cool Schools" initiative - which
links the drinking of water to health and sport -
followed the same format as the forthcoming Euro 2004
tournament. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Sixteen
teams of ten and 11-year-olds represented
a different nation taking part in the real
2004 tournament. A separate girls competition
was also staged in the afternoon. |
|
|
| The
aim of Cool Schools is to place mains-fed
water coolers in every primary school in the
region. Yorkshire Water provides the coolers
free of charge with schools only asked to pay
towards the installation and a maintenance
contract. It also provides specially designed
water bottles and a dance act, known as
S-Cool, to go back into the school to
encourage the children to drink water |
|
| All
the players were given plenty of tap water
throughout the day and were each supplied with
a Cool Fuel water bottle to ensure they are
able to keep hydrated at all times. |
|
|
|

|
| Yorkshire Water's
Cool Schools Campaign Manager Jackie Abusin
said: "The tournament
was a huge success and highlighted the link
between health, sport and hydration. All the
players understood the importance of drinking
water and even though it wasn't a particularly
hot day they took full advantage of the tap
water on offer, regularly filling their water
bottles. |

Referee gives instructions
|
|
| "Nessfield
did brilliantly winning both the competitions.
As a result they will get a water cooler for
their school which I hope all the pupils will be
able to benefit from." |
