Pupils take to the pitch

One hundred and seventy youngsters took to the pitch last week to take part in a primary schools hockey competition as 17 teams from schools across the County competed in the initial stages of the ‘Activate’ competition organised by Sport Pembrokeshire - the sports development arm of Pembrokeshire County Council, along with the Welsh Hockey Union.
Four teams – Prendergast, Llanychllwydog, St. Teilo’s and St Oswalds - made it through the Pembrokeshire finals, which will be held on Friday June 10th in Fishguard.
