While the seniors in the club were in the Lakes the juniors members were doing their racing for club points over at Saddleworth. In the under 16s junior star Jack Denton continued his “golden time” with a win but was pushed all the way by his friend and ever improving team mate Martin Howard with only 11 seconds dividing them. The under 10s race was the best attended with over half of the field being from Calder Valley. Jude Baldero managed to sneak in by 2 seconds in front of  Eilo Beezley with similar times dividing William Hall and James Duffy. Only another 4 seconds adrift was Billy Blacker with his sister Beth hot on his heels. Edward Hall only a further 3 seconds behind them.  In the under 8s race finishing neck and neck were Matilda Baldero and Connor Glyde. Matilda took maximum points being the fastest girl.

On a sunny bank holiday Monday the sport of fell running certainly looks healthy as a record turn out of 367 juniors raced at The Junior Coiners Fell Race. The routes are designed to test all ages with good hill climbs, moorland and fast descending. Calder Valley juniors did us proud with some top results and as you’ll see form the gallery of photos (courtesy of wood heads) they had a great day. All the results can be found on on the race page here.
