Sportshall League Round-up

Shropshire Sportshall League

The first meeting of the Shropshire Sportshall league was held at Bridgnorth Leisure Centre.

Unfortunately there was a disappointing turn out of Shrewsbury athletes, especially in the Under 11 Boys age group where only two boys competed on the day.

Leading Shrewsbury AC results were as follows:

Under 11 Girls: Jodie Adams – 1^st 4 Laps (A) 48.9 secs. Romy Payne – 5^th Speed Bounce. Team 4^th overall – 40.5 points.

Under 11 Boys: William Davies – 3^rd 4 Laps (A) 49.4 secs, 4^th Standing Triple Jump 5m 32cms. Team 5^th overall – 17 points.

Under 13 Girls: Hollie Williamson – 1^st High Jump 1m 45cms, 1^st Standing Long Jump 2m 40cms. Bethany Davies – 2^nd High Jump 1m 35cms.

Jessica Clarkson – 1^st 4 laps (A) 45.8secs. 4x2 Relay team – 1^st.

Team finished second overall with 69 points, only 2 points behind Telford, despite being one athlete short. With a full team in the next three fixtures the Shrewsbury Under 13 Girls should be in contention for the age group trophy.

Under 13 Boys: James Woollam – 4^th Standing Long Jump 2m 15cms.

Joe Morris – 5^th Standing Long Jump 2m 12cms.

Team 3^rd overall – 30 points.

Under 15 Girls: Amy Bickle – 1^st Standing Long Jump 2m 32cms.

Daisy Barnes – 2^nd 2 Laps (A) 22.9secs, 2^nd 4 Laps (A) 47.5secs.

Team 2^nd overall – 39 points.

The next league meeting is on 6^th November at Much Wenlock when the Shrewsbury Team Managers are hoping for a more encouraging turn out of young athletes.
