WEEKEND of football fun took place a t Roefield

Sixes. The Mayor
of
Clitheroe, Coun. Alan Yearing, opened the event, which featured 124 teams aged between eight
and 17. The first game, kicked
off by the mayor, featured Fulledge Colts and Brier-
field Celtic. The competition, the
first to be run solely by the Wolves, was successful as fine weather and good football contributed to an
excellent weekend. Up against opposition

Bacup Borough in their final, and the Under 9s - adding to their Ewood Park competition success — won their section with a
jump 1.35m to top the high jump, and was 0.2 seconds outside her
200m best. She then jumped 1.40m to equal
her high jump personal best at the Blackburn and Darwen Schools tri als, and won the long jump with a new personal best distance of
4.53m. She also won the 100m, a second
slower than her own record time. However, Year 7 athletes are not
considered for the team, and she unfortunately cannot compete for

Other recent successes saw the tal
