Media: NS men’s Goalball team wins nationals
Thank you, Sport Nova Scotia, for this article capturing the excitement of our Nova Scotia men’s goalball team placing first at Nationals this year!
“With a crowd cheering them on at the Citadel Community Centre, player Peter Parsons and his teammates managed to take the top honours. “We hadn’t won the Nationals since 2016, and we only ever won that year and 2015. To win here in 2024 on our home court was amazing with this group of guys,” he said.”
