Many enthusiastic children from the community took part in the celebration which included softplay football matches, basketball, bowling, skipping and relay races, with each participant going away with a certificate and the winners receiving a ‘Funky’ Olympic trophy.

Clare Hughes of Funky Monkeys Newtownabbey explained: “We couldn’t let the excitement of the upcoming Olympic games pass us by without joining in the fun and so we organised this event across our eight centres to help make the children more interested in being active as well as all the different cultures taking part in the Olympics.

On behalf of Funky Monkeys Newtownabbey, I would like to thank everyone who took part and made the day so enjoyable and we look forward to holding similar special themed events in the future.”
