In honour of St. Domenico Savio
whose feast we celebrate on May 6
th, St. Patrick’s held its annual
appointment with the Fun Games. The
tradition arose out of St. Patrick’s ethos of
rewarding the young for being young not merely for excelling in various fields.
This year they were coordinated
by a group of University students who for a day joined the Salesian family in
its festive dress.
The games chosen by this group
went down well with our students. The
rough and tumble of tag rugby was definitely the boys’ favourite. However old classics like prisoners, handball
and of course football were greeted with the usual enthusiasm.
The yard quivered with boys
jostling boisterously in their team colours, striving to do their best for the
sake of the team.
The day came to an end with a
hearty and deserved applause for the university students who so kindly not only
shared their knowledge of sport with us but also gently donated all the sport
equipment used on the day.
