Royal Sutton Coldfield Athletics Club

Plantsbrook sessions for Sprint Squad & those doing Sportshall comps start back tonight, 5.50pm – 7.50pm.

Royal Sutton Coldfield u13 girls retained the Warwickshire cross-country team champions trophy for the third year in succession.

Team gold medals were awarded to the three scorers: Martha Wood (2nd), Bethan Homer (4th) and Charlotte Prince (6th).

Martha was awarded the individual silver medal for her second place and has been automatically selected to run for the County in the National Inter-Counties Championships in March.

Bethan and Charlotte also have a good chance of selection for this prestigious event.

There was good support from Emily Symes who finished 11th.

If you can help collect money/ stamp hands / supervise track entry on Tuesdays or Thursdays, 5.50pm – 6.15pm, please alert someone at the coffee bar. You don’t need to commit to every week.
