BUDE RATS Juniors had their last outdoor training session at the end of October, followed by a short presentation to celebrate achievements throughout the season.

The junior members of the club have had a busy summer competing in local events — such as the lifeboat run and shoreline triathlon, as well as athletics track events further afield.

The Coaches' Award Trophy this year went to Ben Hardy in recognition of his hard work, commitment to training and positive attitude.

Medals were presented to the boy and girl in each group who the coaches felt had shown improvement over the season and always given 100 per cent effort — these included Harrison Swatton, Lily Snelson, William Hooper, Georgia Stevens, Gideon Rae and Ruth Hardy.
