Primary school children from 18 different schools in Pembrokeshire enjoyed a great athletics competition before the end of the summer term.

More than 200 pupils took part in the event at the athletics track at Sir Thomas Picton School in Haverfordwest.

The event was organised by Sport Pembrokeshire and the Pembrokeshire Harriers, and sponsored by Valero.

There were fantastic performances from Maisy Foley (St Florence), who won the 75m sprint in 11.6secs, Daniel Omylak (Neyland) who won the Year 6 Long Jump with 3.96metres and Zac Fecci (Tenby), who threw 6.69m in the shot event.

Regaining their titles from last year were Hannah Pratt (Johnston) with a long jump of 3.60m, Iori Humphries (Orielton) who ran 800m in 2 minutes 26 seconds, and Iolo Bagnham (Tavernspite) with a javelin throw of 23.13m.

Para events saw fantastic performances from all athletes but notably in three events from Toby Williams (Mary Immaculate), Libby Phillips (Spittal) and Lily Rice (Tenby).
