After winning last years U10 BISS (and finishing 8th overall U14,U12&U10) I wanted to show my new school that I could perform at first year U12 level.  What was really encouraging after a hard indoor season, is that I managed to come 3rd overall (U14,U12&U10) and a great result behind an on-fire Joseph, to finish 2nd in U12 !  (also finished with nearly a 1second difference to the nearest 2004 U12).

Great to have a really fast run 2 !

As a team of 1 from Beachborough, I was never in with a shout in the team event, but still managed to finish joint 11th out of 24 mixed prep school teams !

Big thanks to BISS, Impulse and the Hemel/Ersa guys for organising.

24th September 2014 – Beachborough Colts A v Christ Church Cathedral School, Colts A, Oxford

Must have shown enough skill and commitment in last weeks win against Broughton Manor Colts, to earn a place in the Colts A again, this time at inside centre.

First away match for me at Beachborough, against Christ Church Cathedral School in the centre of Oxford.

We won 19:7 in what was a hard fought match, and I had a try disallowed (not so sure the ref got the decision right, but hey thats rugby).

What put the icing on the (gluten free cake) was I was awarded Player of the Match on my second game.

7th September 2014 – British Indoor Championships – Chill Factore Manchester

Sunday of the double header of races at Chill Factore in Manchester brought the British Indoor Championships, again a very strong U12 field.

Run 1 felt fast, and after the rest of the field finishing strongly, I was joint second with Harry and only 0.47 seconds behind Elliott.  So high hopes for Run 2.

Run 2 was disappointing with a slight slip on one of the gates and I couldn’t improve my Run 1 time, whilst everyone else had better Run 2’s, so ended up 5th.

Disappointed as wanted to finish off my indoor season 2014 with another podium, but given me looks to work on for 2015.

6th September 2014 – Anglo Welsh Indoor Championships 2014 – Chill Factore Manchester

All geared up for a weekend of racing at Chill Factore in Manchester, unfortunately Mum wasn’t very well on the Friday so she didn’t travel with us.

Both days had a strong field in the U12 category, so it was going to be a hard weekend and a chance to see nearing the end of the 2014 Indoor season to see how much time I have eaten into the second year U12.

Run 1 was my fastest time of the day with a 17.29 seconds leaving me in 2nd place, and a slightly slower Run 2 time 17.37 seconds cemented a podium 3rd place.

Results Anglo Welsh

Well done to Elliott and Jack (looks like Jack, Lucas and Kayne will be the ones to beat next year in the U12s). photo 12sphoto 11 photo 12 The results can be found here.
