On Friday 8 March, The College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London (CONEL) hosted a women’s cross-college sports day at its Enfield Centre to coincide with International Women’s Day.
The event was a collaborative effort which involved staff from across Capital City College Group’s (CCCG) colleges and Sports Academies including:
Students from across CCCG’s colleges embraced the opportunity to come together and take part in a range of sports including football, basketball and netball. The highlight of the day was the staff versus student netball game, where female staff members from various departments across the college group teamed up to share their love of netball. The college netball squad showcased their well-tuned skills and were victorious, beating the staff 40-10.
Yamini Bist, Head Netball Coach, said “As women come together on International Women’s Day, the court becomes a stage where strength, resilience, and camaraderie intertwine, as they play netball with passion and purpose, celebrating their achievement and empowering each other to reach new heights.”
Robert Murphy, Sports Development Manager at CONEL, said: “It’s truly inspiring to see our female students from across Capital City College Group sites come together to celebrate sports on International Women’s Day. It was a fantastic day enjoyed by all of our female students and staff members.”
