Shropshire Sportshall League Review

For the first time in a number of years Shrewsbury AC were able to put out teams of Under 11s and some Under 13 and Under 15 athletes to compete in the Shropshire Sportshall League - a competition held over 4 league meetings during the winter season and involving all the clubs in Shropshire.
Both the Under 11 Girls and Boys competed extremely well to give the other clubs some strong opposition and there were some outstanding individual performances. Going into the final league meeting at Oswestry on 8th February things couldn't have been closer in the Under 11 Girls competition with Shrewsbury, Oswestry and Telford all in with a chance of winning the overall team trophy.
But a magnificent team performance from the Shrewsbury girls - Charlotte Edwards, Holly Shaw, Jordan Hall, Ellie Ferguson, Lauren Rickard and Sally Joyce, saw them win overall on the day with 85 points - ahead of Oswestry 75 points and Telford 59 points. This was enough to take the Under 11 Girls team trophy with 15.5 league points, beating Telford into 2nd place with 15 league points and Oswestry 3rd with 14.5 league points.
The Shrewsbury Under 11 Boys and Under 15 Girls teams finished in 3rd place overall with the Under 13 Girls and Boys in 5th place overall.
In the overall Team competition Shrewsbury finished third, behind Telford and Oswestry.
Very pleasing results and great support and enthusiasm from all the young athletes.
A BIG thank you to Kathy and Ian B for their coaching and support.
