Congratulations to our winners and a special mention to the work of clubs and school programmes in the County. We had a significant increase in the entry this year and it is no accident that almost all the medal winners’ receive coaching and compete for one of Britannia, Stowmarket, Rougham or Bury St Edmunds Clubs.

It is hoped that if pupils enjoyed the day and wish to compete more often that they make contact with their local club.
