Young athletes competed in a range of events – including the 60m, long jump, javelin and shot putt – and had some fun into the bargain.

“They are a great way of integrating the young people before they move on to secondary school - but it’s also about them having an enjoyable day regardless of sporting ability.

“It was really exciting for the young people to use this magnificent sporting arena right on their doorstep.”

“Events like this help us create a lasting legacy from the Commonwealth Games in the city.”

A total of 90 medals were presented on the day, including prizes for sportsmanship, and all the children who took part received a certificate of participation.

The overall prize was won by Garrowhill Primary School, while St Timothy’s Primary won the Bob Holman Award for sportsmanship.
