Massive THANK YOU for your efforts at the Cheshire League on Sunday. I thought we would be struggling with athletes after the Greater Manchester Schools and Northern T&F Champs clashing, but you all really gave it 100% today.

The results are here

Plus a special thanks to Kes, Debbie (Chloe and Emma’s Mum) Lydia, Jane Stiles, Evelyn’s Dad & George Lawson for helping out with our Officiating duties, this brings in essential points for track, timekeeping and field officiating so very much appreciated.
Hope to see you at the next round on Sunday 6th July at Halton, details will be sent round soon, but pop it in the diary.
