In the speed bounce Scarlett, Molly Acton, Amy Gould, and Holly Hunter came first before Griffiths-Brown and Isabelle Kinsella-Miles won the standing long jump. Emilia Sims also stood out to help the girls increase their lead.

As for the U13 girls, Elen Holt, Cerys Cherry, Erin Higginbottom, and Orlaith Lyford starred with a superb second before Alice Daniels, Olivia Stock, Cherry and Lyford added further second places to help the girls finish second overall.

The boys found it tough with only three athletes available but they performed well with Harvey Attrill, Fergus Jones and Caelan Coney coming second in various events.

Finally, the U15 competition proved to be close as the boys team of Tom Gould, Alex Jack, Zak and Connor Wilce competed well to finish the match in third, which is enough to keep them first overall.
