Local primary schools join in with St. Anne’s athletics

January 28, 2011

A big congratulations to all of the Year 5 & 6 pupils from St. Joseph’s RC, St. Mary’s RC, St. Winifred’s and St. Joseph’s Juniors Primary Schools who all took part in a Sportshall Athletics Competition at St. Anne’s on Tuesday 25th January, 2011. It was a really fantastic event, made possible by Mike Frost from DASH ATHLETICS who provided the equipment and over saw the whole event. We also had the help of 20 sports leaders from year 10 who acted as judges, timers and scorers, they worked really hard and made the event run very smoothly.

The field events were new to many of the children, but they caught on quickly with some quality throwing & jumping. The track events were exciting & competitive and the support of the crowd was up lifting! Many of the teachers commented really positively and said it was the best sports event they had ever taken their schools to.

The winners were St. Joseph’s Juniors, and they will go on to represent the cluster in the Borough Finals at Priestnall School on Feb. 15th. Good luck St. Joe’s !
The Fairplay award was won by St. Mary’s RC, well done.
