Downsend Athletics

A huge well done to all the girls who took part in the Annual Downsend athletics event on Saturday 21st June.
It was a very hot morning, despite the rain at the start of the event, however the ND girls showed resilience and gave some fantastic performances across the 4 activities.
We had some 1st, 2nd and 3rd team placing across the U8, 9, 10 and 11 age groups as well some brilliant individual results.
