🏃Marches Athletes Shine at Shropshire Championships!

The very best of our Year 7 and 8 athletes headed to the Shropshire Championships with one goal, to become Shropshire Champion in their events. And what a performance they delivered!

There were outstanding displays across both track and field, with our students doing the school proud:

🥈 Ida Martin – 2nd in Shot Put
🥈 Bea Hitchins – 2nd in both the 800m and Long Jump
🥈 Fin Jones – 2nd in the 1500m

A special shout-out to Tor Hornett, who stole the show and was crowned Shropshire Champion in THREE events:
🏆 High Jump
🏆 Shot Put
🏆 Triple Jump

This event was a perfect way to cap off a brilliant season!

📸 Pictured: Fin, Tor, and Ida proudly showing off their medals.

Yes Team Marches :-)In the week when the Barclays Knight-Stokes Cup was launched specifically to encourage young people in state schools to play cricket, we were thrilled to see 20 girls from The Marches School in Oswestry attending our Tuesday training night this week.

Huge thanks to our Vice Captain and Head of Girls’ PE at The Marches, Lisa Bladen, for getting her talented young cricketers down to the Stonehouse Oval. They all looked like they had a lot of fun joining in with our WaGs! 😁

Please note: There is no WaGs training this Tuesday 1st July due to a fixture at Morda Road.

Keep an eye on our social channels for any rearrangement we may be able to make. 🏏 We’d love to see you again!
