S1-S3 pupils from all Stirling Council secondary schools along with athletes from Queen Victoria School in Dunblane, competed in track and field events.

Catherine Sharkey, vice-president of Central AC, presented medals and event organiser, Active Stirling’s Athletics Developmen­t Officer Alison Grey, said: “This is the second time we have held the Secondary Schools.
