A busy day at Banavie today, we hosted our Annual Inter School Tag Rugby Competition.  We had 240 children (18 primary schools) attend the morning competition and 3 of the 4 Lochaber High Schools in the afternoon.

The victors this year were P4/5 Morar PS, P6/7 Fort William PS and S1/2 Mallaig High School.

Thank you to all the schools for supporting this event and also to the Active School Co-ordinators for organising the running of todays competition.

We hope you all had a good day a look forward to seeing you all again next year.
