Inter-Primary School Sports

Primary schools in the central area of Nelson city competed in tabloid sports and athletics in the annual inter-school sports at Trafalgar Park last month. Competition was very keen, and in some cases the standard of running and jumping was extremely high. Again, the organising left little to be desired, a big programme being pushed through with a minimum of fuss and disruption.
