Brooksbank school at Wembley - Damian Ball's triathlon. : Tue Jul 05, 2011 9:13 pm
I hope it's OK to post on the messageboard.As many of you 'Fax supporters will be aware, Brooksbank school, Elland have reached the National schools cup final at year 7's & year 10's this year.
Sports teacher and rugby league coach at Brooksbank is Damian Ball and in order to raise funds for the trip he's competing in a triathlon this saturday morning prior to setting off with the Fax squad to Barrow for the club's crucial league fixture.
The plan is for him to do 1.5KM swim, 30KM bike ride & 10KM run and he's hoping pledges of sponsorship will help to boost the funds.
I asked Bally if he's OK with me posting on the messageboard & he's fine with it, so if anyone is interested in sponsoring him you can PM me on here & I'll pass your details on to him, or for those of you who have my 'phone number just get in touch that way.
He assures me he'll be in time to join the lads on their way to Barrow, so good luck to him and indeed to the teams themselves, I understand the year 7's play the curtain raiser to the challenge cup final on the hallowed turf as normal.
