OK. Booing was wrong BUT who has read all the report. It’s quite understandable that the other teams where upset as they thought that there had been a fixing of the results due to there being a wrong announcement
QUOTE “He said he had written to parents to explain the announcer had read out the wrong scores at one point, which meant parents thought West Park was just three points behind Thomas A Becket before the last event, the relays. In fact, the school was 20 points behind but when it won four out of the six final races the crowd thought Thomas A Becket's reign was over.”
I’m sure the parents where actually booing the judges not the children.
Just typical that journalist sensationalizes the story.
