Soho Games Champions 2010
In the glorious sunshine 180 children from the Soho Ward took part in the 2nd Soho Games – an inter school sports competition that enables children to experience top quality competitive activities including football, athletics,uni-hockey and handball. The Games were organised by a partnership between Ladywood Constituency team/Neighbourhood Management , the local charity Sport 4 Life, and the Soho Links Cluster, and were attended by Benson, Wattville, James Watt, Matthew Boulton, Foundry and St James primary schools.
Benson School were crowned Soho Games Champions, having won the football, athletics and handball competitions. Wattville claimed the runners-up prize, while James Watt came a respectable 3rd. It was not all about winning, however, as all of the children benefitted from improved team-work skills, sense of community, and physical fitness. The children were also inspired by local hero Cash The Flash who presented all of the trophies and medals.
