Match 3 in this years YDL lower saw a return visit to Blackburn Harriers. We are very grateful to Blackburn Harriers for taking on this fixture once it became apparent that West Cheshire would be unable to host due to the lack of officials they could muster because of the fixture clashes with the Northern Championships at Sportcity and the Welsh u17 & u20 Championships.
As it was Wrexham were restricted to just one competing athlete. Without the determination from Blackburn that this fixture would go ahead, it would have probably been cancelled - so a massive thanks to George and all at Blackburn who made this event possible.
After the disappointment of finishing 5th in match 2 it was good to see Trafford AC back out in strength and just pipping Wigan to second place behind a very strong North Cumbria combined team.
Yet again the weather was less than kind, particularly early on in the day there was a lot of heavy rain and the strong wind featured all day. This inevitably had an effect on times, but didn't appear to dampen the enthusiasm of most.
There were lots of good performances, but of note has to be Jack Wilkinson, who is making a habit of dominating the u13b 1500m races. This was no exception, another dominant performance. We also had the sight and great excitement of Josh in the 3rd leg of the 4x300m relay turning a 15m deficit into a 15m lead that was just about held on to as Colin finished off the victory.
As ever our thanks goes to those who help us fulfill our commitment to the running of the event, those who help officiate - Linda (Track Judge), Peter (Timekeeper) & John, Brendan, Byron and Margaret as the field team.
We are currently 3rd overall in this years competition, the 4th and final match is at Wigan on 13th July.
