Club Championships 2019

Congratulations to our new Club Champions.  The results are in.  Remember, only the points from your best throw, best run and long jump are included in the total.

Over 100 athletes took part in a very closely fought competition.  There was a tie for 3rd place in the U11 Boys category and the difference between 2nd and 3rd place in the U15 girls category was a single point.

Medals and trophies will be awarded at the Club Awards Night at the end of November.
