Indoor Combined Events International

Kelvin Hall, Glasgow

10th December 2005

The final event of the calendar year was the ever-popular Indoor Combined Events International in Scotland. Travel, certainly from South East England, proved difficult as a result of dense early morning fog and one athlete whose flight from Heathrow was cancelled was faced, at short notice, with a journey by road along the M6 which is never to be recommended on a Friday! Although some athletes arrived four hours later than their scheduled time a full team managed to assemble by early evening.

The competition, as always, was both fierce and friendly as befits combined events and it was pleasing that the individual medals were shared between the four competing countries. English Schools' teams dominated three of the competitions but had to acknowledge the strength and consistency of the Irish girls in the Under 16 event. English Schools' champion, Will Lambourne, proved to be the run-away winner of the Under 18 Boys event, whilst Ashley Bryant, only third in Southampton, performed superbly to win the Under 16 Boys event. How pleasing it was to see nearly fifty parents and friends travelling to Glasgow to encourage the team, meaning that, for the first time ever, we had every athlete being able to rely on the vocal assistance of at least one family supporter in the crowd!
