Stratford juniors help county to sportshall success
A 23-STRONG Stratford AC juniors contingent provided the lion’s share of the Warwickshire team which performed well at the West Midlands Regional Sportshall finals held in Solihull.
The U13 girls and both the U15 teams won their respective age groups, defeating their perennial rivals from Birmingham, and the U13 boys only just missed out on winning by a narrow margin, which rounded off a hugely successful day, with the three teams through to the national finals in Manchester in April.
The U15 athletes competed in a three event all-rounder competition and the stand-out performances came from Millie Leighton, who won the girls’ event, and Adam Farrow won silver the boys’ event.
