Abley entered a team – The Buchan-eers – into the recent Powerslide competition held in Christchurch. Powerslide is an exciting sporting activity developed as part of the SCAPE 7 Public Art festival. It comprises of a giant inflatable sports field and saw players in the attacking team running across the surface of the field and diving through a slot to score points. Meanwhile, the defending team is underneath the surface working to manipulate the field to make it difficult for the attacking team to score. A great test of fitness for our Buchan-eers, who proved too strong in the final.
