Coventry 2007

The event in 2007 started with all English Teams going to a 3 day Holding Camp in Nottingham for some final training and preparations for the event that took place in Coventry from the 23rd – 26th August.

All Competitive matches for the UKSGs were played at the Alan Higgs Center which underwent a 3 day transformation into a fully functional volleyball venue capable of showcasing 2 international matches simultaneously. The Alan Higgs Centre also hosted the Judo competition.

The Boys competition was dominated by England Central but they were pushed close by England South. The Girls Competition started with Scotland West beating the eventual winners but unfortunately they experienced a couple of injuries and narrowly missed out on the final in which England North beat England South.

England Midlands captain Sam Allen said;
“We have improved every day, with every game, as a team. The whole UK School Games experience has built our team spirit and togetherness. It has been brilliant in every way. I hope some of us get to do this in 2012.”

Captain of the victorious England North team Laura Larkin said;
“We had beaten England South in the group games so we were confident, but not complacent, of winning in the final. Their team played brilliantly though and we were really tested.”
