Both the girls and boys 4 x 100 metre and the fun relays were exciting and the children, teachers, parents and other relatives could not contain their excitement.
The victor ludorum is Setori Holder who garnered 37 points and the victrix ludorum is Jakara Phillips who gained 48 points. Both of them are from Purple House.
It was a good day for sports with dazzling sunshine and a nice wind to keep everyone cool. (GBM)
