This season’s third and final Horsham area primary schools sports hall athletics event, the year 4s, was won by Heron Way yesterday as they amassed 368 points, 16 ahead of nearest challengers Southwater Junior Academy and another 34 ahead of third placed Kingslea.

It was an excellent event, with The Bridge being used for the first time as a sports hall athletics venue, hopefully a pilot that will become much repeated in the future. Year 6 children from the participating schools were used as officials and did a great job of overseeing fairness and accuracy in the processing results of the nine competing schools.

Final placings as follows:

  1. Heron Way 268pts
  2. Southwater 352
  3. Kingslea 318
  4. Greenway 282
  5. Arunside 240
  6. Shelley 228
  7. North Heath 216
  8. = St John’s / Holbrook 174
