AFTER the success of the Welsh Nationals Athletics, it was the turn of school teams to make the most of their opportunity at arguably the biggest grass-roots competition for secondary schools in the summer term – the NASUWT Cymru Cup and Plate Final, held at the Penlan Arena Track in Brecon last Wednesday (Jul 6).
The Cup competition has been organised each year since 1988, while the Plate Final was added in 2007.
Forty schools from across the eight districts in Wales qualified to field 64 teams at the Finals.
Over 20 new championship records were recorded thanks to the dry and warm weather conditions, including a best of 4.34.42 in the U14 1500m for Bro Myrddin’s Iwan Glynn.
Six schools from the Dyfed district won their respective age groups in the Haverfordwest area final last month and travelled to Brecon looking to compete with the best in the country in a competition full of high standards.
The best result of the day came from the Bryngwyn junior boys, who were the plate winners.
Dyfed Schools Results:
Bro Myrddin (Junior Boys Cup 6th), Sir Thomas Picton (Junior Girls Cup 7th and Middle Girls Cup 4th), Dyffryn Aman (Junior Girls Plate 5th and Middle Boys Cup 2nd), Bryngwyn (Junior Boys Plate 1st), Preseli (Middle Boys Plate 2nd) and Bro Dinefwr (Middle Girls Plate 4th).
