Katy Wyper won a bronze in the 200m at the CAU Inter Counties Championships with a time of 24.44s in the final in addition to fifth place in the 100m final (12.07s).

She has also been chosen as part of the Scottish 4x100m relay team for the home international next Wednesday at Sportcity in Manchester.

The final Northern Athletics League match was held at Bolton where, with the league positions more or less decided and the holiday season in full swing, most teams were under strength.

The BWFAC team was no exception as it finished fourth and kept third place in the league.
