U11 boys win Sportshall match
At first Hampshire Sportshall league match yesterday
The first of 4 Hampshire sportshall league matches took place at Places Leisure in Eastleigh yesterday.
This is where so many of our youngest athletes get their first taste of representing the club and yesterday was no different.
No fewer than 13 U11 boys took part from schools years 4 through 6 and the first 4 of these came in the top 6 of a total of 54 competitors to win the U11 boys team event. Rhys Soutter was 2nd, Teo Sledz 4th, Arthur Cooney 5th and Harry Elliott 6th and this saw the A team as comfortable team winners on the day. The B team of Hugo Holt (8th), Lukin Parker (15th), Alex Wood (19th) & Felix Humphries (21st) were the 4th team on the day and the C team of Leo O'Leary (24th), Lex Barker (29th), Jonathan Lockyer-Mackay (30th) & Declan Dew (37th) were the 8th team on the day. Declan had to retire after just 2 events both of which he won. George Hardcastle was 50th.
