in Manchester in the U/15 all-rounders competition for his outstanding
performance in the Standing Triple Jump, on Sunday the 6th April. Our best
wishes go with him in his attempt to become a National Champion. Due to the
fact that Sportshall had no sponsor this year, the county has supplied
medals for the winning athletes.
Our Thanks go to all who took part in the Regional
Final and Tina Tappenden, Charlotte and Kyle who came to officiate with Mick
Duffin and Brian Charlton.
The first Sportshall competitions for next season are
