Congratulations to all out champions and to those who will represent Lancashire Schools at the English Schools (North West Regional Round) Combined Events in Trafford, Greater Manchester in June.

Sadly, none of the Junior Boys or Inter Boys who competed were Lancashire School pupils this year, and there were no competitors at all in the Senior Boys and Senior Girls competition. Hopefully this will improve next year!

However, there were some U11 & U13 Quadrathlon and U13 Pentathlon events which will hopefully inspire younger athletes to continue with combined events when they reach the Junior age category.

My thanks go to all the officials and volunteers who helped on the day. Special thanks go to Dave Needham for organising the event and Dave Whitehead for producing the results program.
