Cheshire League – Sunday 8th July
The forthcoming fixture is ideal for newer athletes to
try a competition for the 1st time. Cheshire League meetings tend
to be really friendly and we can enter new athletes as non scorers meaning
that they aren’t under any pressure to win points for the team. Helena
McGoldrick is Team Manager and a number of the Coaches will be there to help
athletes and parents to find their feet.
The Track & Field Season is almost at an end so don’t
miss this opportunity to see how well you have developed and what training
is needed over winter. Speak to your coach for details.
Senior members – The meeting is also for seniors so
please join in and have a run out. Why not try a new event for the 1st
time?

Cheshire League Warrington,
17 June
On Sunday, 17th
June, 32 athletes competed in the final Young Athletes League at Warrington.
The club achieved 27 personal bests, one grade 4 standard and finished 2nd
overall.
A special well done goes to Megan Lang, Lorna Glenn who competed in
the hurdles for the first time. Alanya Kimpton who represented the
club for the first time. Well Done girls!
Many thanks to all who helped over the three meetings- a big thank you to
Jamie Ford who acted as a runner with the results (the fastest results
of the three league meetings) Well Done Jamie!!
Hope to see you all next year at the Young Athletes League meetings.
Team Manager- Helena McGoldrick.
THANK YOU to the all of the parents who helped
at Young Athletes League at Victoria Park. There are too many to mention
individually (and I’m frightened of missing someone). Many hands definitely
make light work – we covered refreshments, results, First Aid, provided
packed lunches, officials, timekeepers, hurdle removals. Our star volunteer
was Jamie who ran backwards and forwards all day between the timekeepers and
the results office, always with a smile on his face. A shining example for
us all.
There is a huge amount of work to be done when hosting
a competition and a comment was made indicating how little of this is seen.
Never be shy of volunteering, there is something for everyone.
Thanks again – Chris Dempsey, Secretary

Northern
League Division 2 – Wavertree 26 May
The club recorded a remarkable third place, one point
ahead of Blackpool, to maintain second place at the half way point of the
League season. It was remarkable because of the number of late withdrawals
through illness and injury which deprived us of the services of Maria
McLoughlin, Sophie Rigby, Chloe Rigby, Jaime White, Maurice Collins and Ian
Costello. In addition, Steve Clague and Peter Seddon were injured during the
steeplechase and 100m and were unable to complete their allotted number of
events.
It was all hands to the pump as Mike McGoldrick made
his track debut, partnering Stan Erlam in the 1500m, Gemma Connolly covered
for Maria in the 800, Emma McClatchey for Chloe in the high jump and Tricia
Spark for Sophie in the long jump. Mike covered for Peter in the 200m. Phil
Robinson was at his imperious best, Greg Williams filled in where required.
Michael Causer put the icing on the cake with a long jump of 7.42 which
moves him up to third in the National U20 rankings.
Many thanks to all the athletes and officials who
contributed to another splendid afternoon of enjoyable athletics carried out
in a sporting and united atmosphere.
