Last Sunday, 19/3, U13 & U15 boys’ and girls’ teams from Birmingham, Herefordshire & Worcestershire, Shropshire and Warkwickshire competed in the West Midlands Regional Sportshall Finals at North Solihull Sports Centre. 

After some great performances in 3 earlier club meets, RSCAC athletes were selected for all 4 Birmingham teams. At U13 in squads of 12,  Evie Edwards, Florence Kinson, Isabel Russon, Jayden Bailey and Archie & Oliver Osborne all competed. At U15 in squads of 6, Florence Thomas-Male, Sofia Shorrock, Bobby Benson and Finlay Marshall took part.

Individual events included Shot, Speed Bounce, Standing Long Jump, Standing Triple Jump, Standing Vertical Jump and 2,4 & 6 Lap Races. There were also 4 x 1 & 4 x 2 Lap Relay Races.

Athletes were selected to compete in up to 3 individual events and a relay. RSCAC youngsters helped Birmingham girls U13 & U15 teams to a 1st place finish and U13 & U15 boys to second place finishes.

Evie, Florence Kinson and Finlay picked up an individual silver medal apiece and Florence Thomas-Male won a gold. Evie won a gold in the paarlauf relay. Florence Kinson, Isabel, Finley and Bobby won golds in 4×2 lap relay. Isabel also won a gold in 4×1 lap relay. 

Special Mention must go to Sofia who with 1 gold and 2 bronze individual medals and a gold medal in the 4 x 2 Lap Relay (in a team which included Florence Thomas-Male) received the Champion All Rounder award.

The successful Birmingham girls’ teams now go on to compete in the Sportshall UK Final in Stoke on 1st April and we wish them well.

Earlier in the day, the U11 girls’ and boys’ teams competed in a Fun In Athletics event. 3 girls from RSCAC were selected: Angelina, Jessica S and Mabel. They had great fun running, jumping and throwing and helped Team Birmingham to a second place finish (both the U11 girls’ and boys’ teams finished second).

Just a reminder –  recently £1000 from 100 Club finds went towards paying for the new Throws Cage.

For those training this evening, Thur 28th July.

The track will be open and training will be taking place.

However due to the Commonwealth Games road access will be restricted.  You may not be able to drive down Wyndley Lane and into the car park at the club house.  Apparently half of Wyndley Car park will be open, but be prepared to park elsewhere just in case.  A good alternative is the car park at the visitors centre at Town Gate, then you can walk through the path by Costa at Wyndley Leisure Centre.

Due to extreme heat, all junior sessions are cancelled tomorrow. Steve’s session is also cancelled. We believe this is the first time in the club’s history we have had to cancel due to extreme heat! Stay cool everyone and see you on Thursday.

On Sunday 16 October, RSCAC are hosting a Young Athletes cross country in Walsall Arboretum (joint hosts with Birchfield). Helpers required to set up, marshal and pack away.

The evening before, (Saturday 15 October) is our annual presentation evening at All Saints Church Centre, 64 Belwell Lane, B74 4TR.
