Sporting kids do battle in Sportshall Athletics Championships - GALLERY - Local News - News

HUNDREDS of sporty youngsters have taken part in an annual school sports competition.

More than 270 boys and girls from nine schools across the town took part in the Middlesbrough Primary Schools' Athletic Association Sportshall Athletics Championships.

Pallister Park Primary claimed top spot across the 13 events for boys and girls, while Marton Manor Primary youngsters came second in both.

Middlesbrough Council’s sports development manager Scott Hydon said: “It was a really enjoyable event.

"The idea is to engage the kids and give them a really positive experience and providing them and mums and dads with the information to say ‘your child has enjoyed this, here is where they can go and do it’.”

The schools will represent the town in a January Teesside final.
