After having to cancel the Pulton Cup on the scheduled night due to my illness (Shingles) and the following Tuesday very cold rainy evening, we eventually got the competition started on Thursday 4th July. The weather was awesome just like the “old days” and the event was well supported by over 80 young athletes. Most of the age groups were well supported but no Under 17 Boys made the effort to attend the Club’s Track & Field Annual Championships which is very disappointing! However I must congratulate all who did attend and I am sure they all enjoyed the competition.
Club events cannot take place without help and I thank most profusely our growing band of helpers, coaches and officials. For statistical purposes the breakdown of entries within age groups is as follows:- Age Group Girls Boys Total U9 10 7 17 U11 9 12 21 U13 13 13 26 U15 15 2 17 U17 2 0 0 Total 49 34 83 Enjoy the summer break and we look forward to seeing you all again in September when the awards will be presented.
