This
year saw the first time Wiltshire entered an U11 Team in this competition. The organisers were delighted to see us and
made us very welcome. 19 children made
the long trip courtesy of the County’s generous assistance towards the coach
hire. The children came from Wessex
& Bath AC, Pewsey RC, The Mill School and Dauntsey’s Aided Primary School(DAPS) None of the children had ever competed in
this type of competition but they all had a go and did their very best. I am delighted to say that we came away with
a 1st place in the Standing Long Jump and a 2nd place in
the Chest Push thanks to Toby Jackson (The Mill School), a 5th place
in the Balance Test for Dominic Gunn-Taylor (The Mill School), a 6th place in
the Speed Bounce for Lucy Barros (Wessex & Bath)
and a 5th place in the Balance Test for Alicia Hooper (DAPS).
Although
we did not have quite a full team this year, I am confident of managing it next
year. CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE !!
