The first team fixture for this age group this season saw 42 u13's & u15's travel to Ellesmere Port in the Youth Development League.
This is a very young team with the vast majority of them being at the lower end of their age group, so it was really satisfying to see them perform so well and finish a close 4th on the day overall.
The spirit amongst the team was great and boosted by Kim, still in her neck brace, making an appearance to support the team.
There were lots of PB's on the day, far too many to mention individually, some of them massive, with Danielle and Sammy knocking huge chunks of previous times.
One of the highlights of the day was watching Jamall, probably one of the shortest in the competition, take on all comers in the 100m and 200m and anchor the u13b relay team to a very close win.
The willingness to do the best for the team was probably best demonstrated by Jack who happily chipped in competed in both the shot and the javelin - not events he's really cut out for!
A great days competition, fine weather, great spirit amongst the team; strongly supported by a good crowd of parents.
As ever our gratitude is extended especially to those who help officiate, without whom the kids would have no competition. So a big thank you to Peter (Timekeeper), Neil (Track Judge) and the field team of Mike, Brendan, Lucy and Margaret.
