GOLCAR Junior School retained the title of Colne Valley Athletics Champions in an event at Colne Valley High School.

The event, which is part of The Kirklees Youth Games and organised by the Kirklees Pennine School Sport Partnership, involved teams from Slaithwaite, Linthwaite, Marsden, Scapegoat Hill, Wellhouse, Golcar and Clough Head.

The children were cheered on by their families and friends as they competed in various running, jumping and throwing events.

Golcar narrowly beat Beech Avenue School and Marsden into first place and will now compete at the Leeds Road Sports Barn at the end of January as regional champions.
