The annual Hertfordshire indoor championships took place this weekend with Herts Phoenix athletes to the fore once again.  For many it was the first chance to compete during winter training and for others a chance to stake their claim for a place in the county team for next week's U17/Senior inter-county match at the same venue.  Click here for results.

Although fielding a smaller contingent than in recent years, those athletes who attended the England Athletics Open Indoor Championships over the weekend at the National Indoor Arena, Birmingham returned a number of excellent performances including two Bronze medals in the U20 category.  Click here for a link to thefull National Indoor Champs results and click here for the UKA McCain City Challenge results.
