Failsworth karate club celebrates sports day - with a water fight

Children take part in a three legged race for the Cobra Kan Karate Do sports day.

A karate club in Failsworth has celebrated their annual sports day… with a water balloon fight.

Cobra Kan Karate Do, based on Partington Street, is a Community Amateur Sports Club.

On Sunday 2 September, 80 of their members and parents took part in a day of games – split into four teams: Viper, Rattlesnake, Anaconda and Python.

They were all awarded points throughout the day based on how well they’d done in all of the games – which were then converted into water balloons for the huge water fight.

The teams were all given special bandanas to show which team they were competing for.

There was also a picnic lunch for those taking part.

Organisers say it’s a way of giving back to those who have spent the year fundraising to keep the club going.
