Five special schools from the Sport Association took part in the Mini Euro 2008 football tournament on May 21st 2008 which was organised by Newcastle under Lyme Sports Development at Knutton Recreation Centre. 

 

The tournament was held in order for the young people from Key Stages 2 and 3 to test their football skills and abilities. In total 77 young people took part in the event that was organised by Nicky Robinson, Community Recreation Leader from Newcastle Sports Development Team.

The winners of the tournament for Key Stage 2 were Blackfriars School and Key Stage 3 winners were Middlehurst School. The Mayor of Newcastle under Lyme attended the event to award the winners with their medals and certificates.
