Devon Sports Awards - David King 'Young Volunteer of the Year' Finalist

20th April 10

David has been a considerable help to both Lipson Community College and Lipson Lions over the past 5 years as a hockey umpire. He is now working towards his Level 1 qualification and is seen as 'an incredible talent' by his umpiring mentors from England Hockey. In addition to the school and club work that David does, he was also asked to umpire the County Finals this year for Devon U16's. Wendy Woodstock helped me write the application and we also asked Rob Logan, his Umpire Mentor and Chairman of Lipson Lions Hockey Club, to also submit an application.

David was shortlisted from a very large group as a finalist and was invited to the Awards Evening which took place on the evening of Thursday 1st April at Paignton Zoo. Caroline Atkins (England Cricketer) presented the Awards. Unfortunately David did not win but was 'Highly Commended'.

On Monday 29th March a team from Lipson Community College attended the Panathlon Plate Challenge held at Marjons and the Devonshire Health Club.

Students participated in the following events with each event giving points towards the team total:

Netball
Table Tennis
Cycling
Girl's and Boy's Football

The final result all came down to the Athletics event which was held in the afternoon. We went in to this in second place behind Tamarside and ahead of Sir John Hunt and Plymouth High School for Girls. Due to an excellent display from the whole team we were able to move above Tamarside by winning both the flat and technical events.

Well done to all of the students!
