We recently held our Year 3/4 Quad kids’ event at Wilsons playing field. We had 2 events take place, our first event 1-3pm had entries from 11 schools which made the atmosphere excellent. The second was held 4-6pm which saw 7 schools enter and an excellent turnout of spectators which proved great motivation to the students. Each team consisted of 4-6 girls and 4-6 boys. They competed in 4 events to achieve the highest number of team points, the events were the Howler throw, standing long jump, 400m and a 50m run. The top 3 places for event 1 were joint 1st for Peel Park and Whalley both scoring 1,284 points and 3rd place for Huncoat with 1,229. The top 3 places for the 2nd event were 1st St Hubert’s with 1,265 points, 2nd place Baxenden with 1,245 and 3rd place Mount Pleasant with 1,237.
The overall Hyndburn Champions were Peel Park and the overall Ribble Valley Champions were Whalley. Therefore, they are now invited to the Lancashire school games at Blackpool to represent their district. Well Done to all the teams that took part, especially those going forward. We hope you all had lots of fun!
