THANK YOU!

As it is Bank Holiday Weekend, there will be no jumps and hurdles coaching tonight.  Jumps will be back next Friday, 5.30 – 7pm.  Hurdles will return the following Friday (8th September).

Save the date for this year’s presentation evening.  Friday 6th October, 7pm for a 7.30pm start.  This year we have a new venue: The Pavillion, Moor Lane, B6 7AA. We will let you know when tickets are available.

There is no training on Friday because the track is being used to set up for the Sutton Community Games, which takes place this weekend.

The Sutton Community Games is taking place at Wyndley this weekend.  All the sport clubs of Sutton will be there offering a chance for you to try their sport.  You can come and try the long jump from 2 – 3pm on Saturday and Sunday.  Everyone is welcome so bring your friends and family.

Please be aware that the venues for the 1st and last UAG YDL have swapped.  They have been updated so that they are correct on the ‘fixtures’ page.

These are the correct venues:

YDL Upper Age Group (Under 17 and Under 20 age groups) – Division North/East 1B

• Sun 30 April – Telford
• Sun 28 May – RSCAC
• Sun 25 June – Tipton

RSCAC hammer throwers were on show on Saturday:

• Chrissie Prince, U20 3rd
• Sherri Smart, Senior 2nd
• James Ward, U17 6th, New PB 26.03 metres
• Meghan Sharman, U15 2nd, New PB and Club Record of 33.01 metres.

Well done everyone! (Especially Meghan.)

Isabel Male, u 13 girl achieved a new club record in her 60 m debut (8.5 seconds). Isabel recorded the second best time of the day in heat 3 of the 60 m race. Moving up the rankings, to heat 1 in the 100 m, she recorded the best time of the day 13.46 seconds.

Aaron Oshenye, u 13 boy ran well in both the 60 m and 100 m, very narrowly missing out on personal best times.

Daniel Olatundun, u 15 boy ran 8.01 seconds in his 60 m debut. Daniel achieved a considerable improvement in his time for the 100 m, a PB 12.25 seconds.

Rachel Iliffe, u 20 women, achieved a PB in both her 60 m and 100 m race.

A great start to the season!

There are no jumps and hurdles tonight because of tomorrow’s Sportshall.

From next Friday (17th March) we will be back outside at Wyndley, 5.30 – 7pm.

Last Saturday, 4 RSCAC athletes represented Team Birmingham in the Regional Sportshall Final.  Charlotte, Daniel, Isabel and Rhianna all performed amazingly.  Their performances led to the Under 13 Girls finishing second overall and the Under 13 Boys finished as overall champions!

The victory for the Under 13 Boys means that Daniel will go to Manchester next month to compete in the National Sportshall Final.  Good luck Daniel!

Massive news for Royal Sutton…

On Saturday 18th February our U15 boys team were Club Connect relay WINNERS at the Barclaycard Arena in the Birmingham Grand Prix.  It was a thrilling 4 x 200m relay race with a very close finish.  We are extremely proud of Daniel, Matthew, Connor and Joe, who won £250 prize money for the club.

The U15 girls team finished 6th (Jess, Charlotte, Lucy and Elsa).  The U17 girls team of Jenny, Emma, Rachel and Caitlin were 5th, as were the U17 boys (Cameron, Sam, James and Ben). Well done everyone!
