GMYG 2006
Greater Manchester Youth Games 2006
Another great year for Team Tameside in the 2006 Greater Manchester Youth Games!
The Games this year were kindly sponsored by New Charter.
The events were located at 3 sites - Broughton Park Rugby Club, Sport City and Belle Vue.
The green team were out on force on Saturday 1 July with an army of volunteer Club coaches, sports development staff and young volunteers giving a helping hand and huge cheers for the young players.
The weather was also on our side, one of the hottest days this year!
VIP's from New Charter along with the head of sports services Adam Allen, Councillor David Sweeton and the Mayor of Tameside Councillor Margaret Sidebottom attended the Games to support Team Tameside.
The young players all had the experience of a lifetime and many have now gone onto joining local sports clubs in Tameside to continue in their chosen sport.
The mayor of Tameside said 'it was a fabulousday, all the young players did ever so well. I had a lovely time watching them play and enjoyed cheering them all on! It was great to see so many young people enjoying sport in such an exciting environment!'
