National SpikeBall Primary School Championships
West Region Finals '08
The Eastern Region SpikeBall Finals took place on 26st February at St. Brigid's Convent of Mercy Secondary School, Tuam, Co Galway. Teams from Roscommon, Galway and Mayo and Louth took part in what proved to be an extremely exciting event. SpikeBall is an adapted Volleyball game that has been growing steadily in popularity amongst Primary and Post Primary schools over the past number of years. Qualification for the Regional finals was done through county championships so the best that the West had to offer was on show on the day. The winners and runners up from each competition qualify for the National Finals.
