Strode's Joe Nelson has been selected as part of the GB U18 handball team travelling to Gothenburg in Sweden to compete in the European Handball Open tournament this July.

Jess has had mixed fortunes so far this season as she badly damaged a finger in November leaving her unable to play for several months.  However, she is now back playing again and has been fast making up for lost time!

On the international front, Jess played for England U18s against Scotland U18s at Preston Grasshoppers ground on March 3rd, helping seal an impressive 59-5 win over their rivals.

I compete in the Youth A category and was pleased with a 400m pb swim which meant I was ranked 15th out of more than 100 competitors going in to day 2 at Prestwold Race Circuit.

The triathlon season is finally starting after the winter break with the British Triathlon Performance Assessment being held this last weekend.  Training has not gone all to plan as I have been suffering a bit from injury and I have had to take time out to revise for my GCSE’s.  This has meant trying to do quite a bit of juggling and as a result dropping the cross country and National Schools Biathlon Championships over the winter months so I could ensure I had properly recovered for the start of the Tri Season.

2019 is a very important year for all our young athletes as they seek those very important points which will help to propel them into their respective teams now being picked for the Tokyo Olympics.

Most notably is Corey Walkes, who returned to form after a period out for injury,represented Great Britain at the 26th World Age Group Trampoline, Tumbling and DMT Championships held in St Petersburg in Russia.
