Please Note – The third and final match of this Sportshall series is now changed to Sunday January 23^rd, not Sunday 16^th November as previously planned

In this second match of three, Trafford’s U11s, U13s and U15s continued their indoor athletics season.  The team were grateful for the volunteering of Trafford officials: Sarah Wilde, Rick Gwilt, Jo Fisher, Kamil Winogrodski and Neil Canham. 

We welcomed Sportshall debutants Layla Sethi (U11), Keiana Wolfe (U11), Imogen Prescott (U11), Michael Kemp (U11), Joel George (U13) and Patrick Lydon (U13).  The new U11G made an impact early on by combining with Suki Cole to complete an obstacle relay team, who were followed by a win from the U11B obstacle relay squad.

In the U13Gs, there were impressive performances from Sorcia Kajue (2 lap (2^nd), standing long jump (1^st 2.10 m)), Leddra Siewe (4 lap (4^th)) and Harriet Ford (speed bounce score 65) .  For the U15G, Amber Brown gained PBs whilst winning the vertical jump (59 cm), standing long jump, and standing triple jump.  For the U11G Suki Cole was 15^th in the speed bounce, Imogen Prescott 16^th in the 4 lap, Keina Wolfe 15^th in the 1 lap and Layla Sethi 16^th in the speed bounce.

Whilst in the boys, the U13s won the team event (as they did in the first match), thanks to particularly good performances from Joel George (speed bounce (score of 61)), Ruben Ilunga (shot (4^th 5.40)), Tselot Eshete (2^nd in standing triple jump and standing long jump), Barney Watson (9^th in vertical jump), George Mackay (7^th in 6 lap), Anthony Lee (8^th in 2 lap), Phoevos Cassidy (speed bounce score 56) and Patrick Lydon 6^th in the shot.  In the U15B Zack Watson was 3^rd in the shot and Jamie Anderton was 2^nd in the 2 lap.  For the U11B, Michael Kemp was 7^th in javelin, Henry Sainsbury 2^nd in standing triple jump, Paddy Widdop 7^th in standing long jump, Charlie Congdon 10^th in 1 lap, Micah Liburd 6^th in speed bounce, and Max Colly 12^th in vertical jump.  The 4x2 relay squad also won.

The third and final match in the Sportshall series is Sunday January 23^rd (11:30-16:00) at the same location (Manchester Regional Indoor Arena, Sportcity).  You can confirm attendance with team manager Simon O’Meara (psymon_omeara@hotmail.com) anytime. For this match we will make an official’s roster to share out the field event officiating more fairly.
