Team Boclair at The Sporting Senior Games
The Sporting Senior Games 2024, hosted by Glasgow Caledonian and supported by the Erskine Veterans Charity was a great success again this year. Boclair Care Home joined many other teams from across Scotland to vie for silverware success. There were a raft of medals, plus the coveted John Bowman Trophy at stake, and our team of 6 Boclair residents were keen to show off their skills.
The competition hotted up throughout the day as the teams of older adults took part in several sports, including Basketball, 10 Pin Bowling, Curling, and Javelin. Boclair teams were joined by residents from care homes across East Ayrshire, West Lothian, Ayr, Coatbridge, and Bishopton.
The team from Boclair Care Home in Bearsden participated in three events, reaching the knockout stages and bringing home the gold in the Curling and Boules events.
A great day out was had by all, and staff and residents alike enjoyed the atmosphere of friendly competition which continued into the Awards Ceremony which took place on the 11th September. The Boclair Care Home team were extremely proud to receive their medals and plan to hang them where all their friends can see them!
