There was superb team spirit on show with all children encouraging each other and it was amazing to hear them cheering each other on over the finish line, no matter what position Springbank placed! It was an incredibly close heat with just a few points between the teams, with Springbank coming in an honourable 4th place. A special shoutout must go to the members of the team who had to take over at the last minute for a poorly member of the squad - it isn't always easy to put yourself forward for something you haven't practiced but they did so with confidence and determination. Well done to all the children for their incredible effort, often sacrificing lunchtime and breaktime play to practice their baton changeovers and reversa-board technique. You did Springbank proud!
