Sitting adjacent to the delegation from the Spanish Football Association, the Gibraltar FA delegates, President Gareth Latin, General Secretary, Richard Manning and Dennis Beiso, the UEFA liason officer took their places at the 2013 UEFA Congress in the Grand Hall of the Grosvenor House Hotel, earlier this morning.
Two 5-a-side matches were played yesterday evening featuring a team from No. 6 Convent Place against teams of Special Athletes. No. 6 narrowly won the first match 6-5 and the second match was a 2-2 draw. A spokesperson said: “Both were played in a great spirit with lots of atmosphere being provided by the sizeable crowd.”
Gibraltar Cricket have announced that Lizzie Ferrary will join the permanent staff of the organisation as a Development Coach next month.
Local Dance Academy, Stylos dazzled judges at leading talent show competition, Starpower this weekend in the UK. The team, made up of fourteen young girls aged between ten and eighteen years, stole prizes for both the Allstars and Power division. The Academy, headed by Lillian Montero and choreographed by her daughter Lauren Montero also won first prize for the Lyrical, jazz and contemporary categories.
Starpower, a predominantly American contest, is centred around lyrical and jazz dancing. The show was brought to the UK five years ago and has since picked up a prestigious following. Commenting on why the team entered the competition, Lillian explained that their lyrical and jazz dance styles are particularly American in technique.
