Performing a sequence of ‘keepie uppies’ tests an athletes balance, agility, co ordination, flexibility and indeed endurance if you can sustain it.
The scores achieved by our fantastic students in this challenge surpassed my wildest expectations and are testament to the great work being conducted by the dedicated soccer coaches in SCS and the local clubs.
Our walking champion Jack Kent returned to action and took this competition in his stride. His scintillating 97 gives him pole position and a second victory in our challenges.
Meanwhile the battle for second and third place was hotting up behind, with the mighty Cathal Kingston 86 just edging out superstar Caoimhe Flannery 84.
Donal O'Callaghan, a formidable sportsman in his own right, came in fourth with a commendable 67. Daniel Nzunu's 43 keeps him in contention for the overall with his fifth finish.
Our leader coming into this challenge Katie Kingston 35, gave her sixth place and gives her very valuable points to keep her challenge alive with Cathal McCarthy 29, and Steven Harrington 21, taking 7th and 8th place respectively.
It's tight at the top folks and every challenge counts.
Sixth Challenge:
I would like to thank Sean Daly for suggesting this challenge. Feel free to use any ball you like.
How many bounces can you do in one minute? Those who are lightning fast will have to record and slow down the video to count.
Best of luck everyone and have fun.
