Hundreds of primary school children gathered at Louth Academy (North) Cordeaux site for the local area school cross country and raced in difficult blustery conditions.

With lots of children competing in each race, including first-time runners, only the first four finishers from each school counted towards the team trophies.

Lacey Gardens (Y3/4 girls) and Greenwich House (Y5/6 boys) took the honours in the remaining races.

Kidgate went close to a hat-trick of titles, but had to settle for second place in all three.
