The School Games will officially start in September 2011, where a number of competitive sports will involve young children from year 3 to 13 taking part.

It will consist of 4 levels:

• Intra school competitions
• Regular local interschool competitions
• Annual area/county multi sports school games festivals
• National multi sport events.

For the past two years, due to the hard work of Bridgewater Diamonds Volleyball Club at the Centre, Bridgewater Diamonds, Wigan Volleyball Club and the young leaders and coaches who work with Megan Hopkins on the Junior programme, it has given Volleyball the foundations of opportunity for growth of all age groups.

The addition of the three new Volleyball courts will give the opportunity for adults, as well as children, who are new to sport to give it a try and also play competively for the North West region if they wish too.

In the year 10 and 11 races, Sophie Bates (Lymm) and Jack Gleave (William Beamont) took the top spots, with Sophie’s run being one of the day’s biggest wins as she defeated her rivals by more than two minutes.

Emma Scott (Helsby) and Rebecca Coy (Bridgewater) took second and third in the girls’ race, with Chris Smith (Boteler) and Henry Buttress (Lymm) claiming the berths in the boys’ race and St Gregorys taking the team award.

Years eight and nine saw Jemma Eyre (Lymm) and Leighton Sharman (Birchwood) run out the winners as Kate Merrill and M McEverley (both Helsby) came second and third, as did Patrick Iredale (St Gregorys) and T Sljivie (Helsby).

Wins for Amy Renton (Helsby) and Kiro Smithyman-Harding (Bridgewater) in the year seven category meant that Helsby pipped Bridgewater to the team title, as Olivia Bush and Annabel Martin (both Bridgewater) and Billy Young and Oliver Upton (both Helsby) claimed the runners up positions.

The young winners from the last round were at it again in the primary school races, with Lauren Goddard (St Monica’s) repeating her win and Jack Evans, Benji Mullarkey and Daniel Fox (all St Wilfrids) again filling the first three boys’ places.
