The Pulton Cup was held at Beckfoot on Tuesday 8th July with a total of 94 athletes taking part.
The weather was awesome just like the ‘old days’ and the event was well supported by athletes and parents.
The Under 9, Under 11, Under 13 and Under 15 age groups were well supported and an increase in numbers from last year and even the usually sparse Under 17s and Under 20s had quite a few competitors attending the Club’s Track & Field Annual Championships.
The competition comprises of a Quadathlon, with a Sprint, Long Jump, Javelin and a middle distance race.
