SUPERB SHOW FROM ATHLETES
ALMOST 400 children from nine junior Welsh clubs took part in the second round of competition at the Welsh Junior Louise Arthur League.
The event, for under-11, under-13 and under-15 age groups, was staged at the home of Carmarthen and District Harriers following the opening round at Haverfordwest High School.
Swansea Harriers, Pembrokeshire Harriers, Neath Harriers, Llanelli AAC, Bridgend AC, Pontyclun AC, Barry & Vale Harriers and Brecon AC joined Carmarthen at the Leisure Centre in Johnstown on a dry and relatively warm Saturday.
More than 70 races took place with several close finishes. Elsewhere, the seven field disciplines were busy at opposite ends of the arena.
The club were delighted to have event and club sponsors Bwydydd Castell Howell Foods Ltd on board.
This year’s Cup and Plate finals will take place at Swansea University over the weekend of August 24-25. After the four league matches the top teams will go into the Cup final, and the Plate final will be occupied by those in the fourth to seventh positions.
