This was the second of three meetings in this Indoor Sportshall Athletics event for the Under 11’s, 13’s and 15’s.  We had a great turnout of athletes with 35 taking part (28 in the last meeting!).

It was a long day, due to a record attendance at the event.  There were almost 230 competitors taking part this day, beating the previous record of 180.  This event has been taking place for the past 10 years!  Clubs that take part are from Blackpool, Preston, Pendle, Hyndburn, Kendal and a host of other areas in Lancashire.

Three of our Athletes received Athletes of the Match awards (scoring more points than anyone else in their age group).  Congratulations to Matt Storey for the Under 15 Boys, Tiffany Dacre for the Under 13 Girls and Bethany Miller for the Under 11 Girls.

These three athletes produced outstanding performances on the day, both in sprinting and field events and well deserved their awards.  Other fine performances on the day were from Charlotte Gaffney, James Barker, Sam Mercer and George Burton who all just missed out on receiving Athletes of the Match.

We are very proud of the Horwich RMI Athletes as they all gave 110% on the day and produced many personal bests.  The full results will follow at a later date.

On the day, the Combined Team of the Girls Competition i.e. the Under 11’s, 13’s and 15’s won the day with the highest total of points.  This is a great achievement to have beaten 2 Premiership Athletic Teams i.e. Preston and Blackpool and one that will not be forgotten for some time!

The final meeting is being held at Blackpool Sports Centre on Sunday 18th January 2007, be there for 11:00am to register.  We need to have as many there as possible as final league positions will be decided on that day and the medals will be awarded to winning age groups.
