The 2009 Redrow Suffolk Youth
Games were held on Sunday 12 July at the Abbeycroft Leisure
Centre, Bury St. Edmunds.
Young people in school years 5 to 11, who live or go to school
in the Suffolk Coastal district were once again given the
opportunity to represent their district at this great festival of
sport.
The sports at this year's games were:
Athletics
(able-bodied years 5 & 6 and disability years 7 to 11,
mixed).- Badminton (years 7, 8, 9, mixed).
- Basketball (years 5 & 6, mixed).
- Hockey (years 7, 8, 9, boys & girls
competitions).
- Table Tennis (years 5, 6, 7 & 8,
mixed).
- Tag Rugby (years 5 & 6, mixed).
- Tennis (years 7 & 8, mixed).
Suffolk Coastal achieved fourth places in both able-bodied and
disabled athletics and equal third place in the Badminton
competition.
The competition in all seven sports was fierce at times, with
strong teams from Waveney, St Edmundsbury, Mid Suffolk and Forest
Heath in particular ensuring it remained a closely fought title.
Waveney carried off the overall title for the fifth year in a row
with Babergh taking the Fair Play award.
