Derbyshire U11s Sportshall

The counties young sportshall athletes tasted success for another consecutive year when winning both the boys and the girls sections at the East Midlands 'Fun in Athletics' U11 Regional Final at Grantham on 22nd January.
The team, made up exclusively from athletes from Amber Valley & Erewash AC and Chesterfield & District AC, was selected from performances at this seasons Derbyshire Mini League sportshall matches.
They were pushed all the way by the Nottinghamshire team but it was the strength on the relays that really made all the difference when it came down to the overall results.
The girls team won 6 out of a possible 8 relays, and the boys 5 out of a possible 8.
In the field events certain disciplines had Derbyshire athletes scoring highly.
The Chesterfield pairing of Lauren Kay and Alex Ediker bounced to top spot in the girls and boys speed bounce competitions respectively, with Amber Valleys William Collings gaining equal second.
The balance test was a high scoring event for the team with both Chesterfields Aly Stout and Erin Russell (tying for first place), and Amber Valleys Cole Pointon scoring the maximum possible.
Brandon Lewis (CDAC) launched the 1kg medicine ball out to a best throw of 8.25m for first place whilst clubmate Emma Botham did the same for the girls with Caitlin Emerson (AVEAC) a close second.
Derbyshires other individual field event win came from Amber Valleys Lily Naylor who won the target throw.
Well done to all athletes and thank you to team managers and officials.
