A NEW £11 million leisure centre was formally unveiled with a school tournament.
Evesham Leisure Centre was opened with a dodgeball tournament last week.
The award-winning Abbey Road centre first opened its doors in September last year.
Six dodgeball teams, two each from St Egwins Middle School, Blackminster Middle School and Simon De Montfort Middle School competed for glory with Blackminster B coming out on top.
They were crowned Wychavon Dodgeball Champions 2010, winning free swimming vouchers donated by Wychavon Leisure, medals and certificates.
Mark Williams, sports development officer said “The youngsters were brilliant and everyone had fantastic time.”
Kay McBride, centre manager, thanked her staff for their hard work making the centre a success.
Wychavon District Council chairman councillor Andrew Dyke and Wychavon Leisure chairman Stuart Megarry then unveiled a plaque made from the same copper which clads the building.
