'RURAL COMMUNITY GAMES'

is to be the name of a new competition to replace the previous 'West Norfolk Village Games'

For 2017 The West Norfolk Community Sports has agreed not to hold a Village Games competition. This is due to the falling number of teams entering.

However, it is proposed to have five actiivities run on five different days throughout the year - either at Lynnsport or at various venues within West Norfolk. In this way it is hoped to bring together rural communities and provide fun and active competition to those who might not take part in a team sport.

A new name will be adopted for the events -

'RURAL COMMUNITY GAMES'

To maintain the element of 'competition' it is proposed that scores will be awarded with an overall winner being announced at the West Norfolk Sports Awards.
