The third and final match in this season's Greater Manchester Sportshall League took place on Sunday 14th December at Sportscity. Despite loosing quite a few to 'the bug', injury and unavailability; it proved once a again to be a successful day for Trafford AC athletes.

The results and highlights are listed below. As ever we must thank those who make these events possible, Elaine and all the helpers. Dave is currently recuperating from further surgery, but very much in out thoughts this Christmas, we wish him well.

All the events that we participate in and the club are ran by volunteers; so if there are any others who are willing and able to help, please let us know.


Results and highlights
u11g - Finished 3rd, their highest placing this season. Good to see Caoimith making her debut. Ellina finished 3rd in Speed bounce. Trezeguet was outstanding winning both the 1 Lap and the Standing Long Jump and then bringing the relay team of Ellina, Emily, Roselle and Trezeguet home for a much deserved win.

u11b - Finished 9th.No top 3 placing, the best was Louis 4th in the 3 Lap.

A win for the Relay team of Issi, Abi, Tasmin and Roselyn. 

u13b - Finished 4th. The lads competed well, boosted by Josh's return, but missing Jamall and Sefa from an already small team left them low on numbers.
