On 31st May, the Team took part in the British Inline Marathon Championships held at the Hillingdon Cycle Circuit. Due to other skating commitments by some members of the Club, only 5 members of the squad competed, however, their achievements made for an excellent day of racing:

Maya Bathgate competed in the Mini Girls Marathon over a 3 Mile distance, and took the Silver medal in the Championships, and also won the Bronze medal for her overall age group (6-9 years).

Jessica Hoare competed in the Junior Girls age group race, (16-18 years), skating her first competitive full 26 Mile Marathon distance. She raced superbly to take the Gold, winning the British Junior Girls Marathon Championship title, and also won the overall age group trophy as well. Daniel Smith and Robert Whiting competed in the Junior Boys age group race, and were also competing in their first Full Marathon. They worked well together for the first half of the race, but unfortunately Robert had to retire through injury. Daniel continued and raced on to take 1st place, winning the British Junior Boys Marathon Championship title, and also won the overall age group trophy.

Errol Spence competed in the Veterans category, also racing over the 26 Mile distance. He raced well, recovering from a fall part way through the race, to go on and win the Championship title and the overall age group race trophy too.

The skaters, who still do not have proper track training facilities, and train round industrial estates, and in School playgrounds, as usual produced outstanding results which is down to their dedication to the sport, and the time and commitment given by the Team Manager - Alan Moore and Team Coach - Chanelle Moore. The Team are currently competing in the outdoor season race meetings, which will culminate in the British Outdoor Championships which will be held over two days in early October. We will bring you an update on their season successes later in the year. In the meantime, we congratulate them all and wish them good luck for the rest of the season.
