For those who may not know, Boccia is a thrilling Paralympic sport where the goal is to roll or throw your ball closest to the jack. Played indoors on a badminton-sized court, participants use blue or red soft leather balls, adding a unique twist to the game.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The competition was fierce. Keepers of the Keys went on the attack, maintaining an undefeated streak throughout the event and emerging victorious, knocking Liquorice AllSports off the top spot on the VC’s Cup leaderboard<\/a>. Hot on their heels were the runners-up, Campus Sporting Exploits, who also performed brilliantly, narrowly missing out on the top spot. Team SPP Power secured an impressive 3rd place finish, marking their highest achievement in the VC\u2019s Cup this year.<\/p>\n
