A fantastic team performance saw South Devon AC juniors lift the Pearson Cup in the yearly contest between four local clubs. In recent years the competition has been dominated by Torbay but thanks to hard work by head coach Vince Langdon and all the junior athletes South Devon won the cup after a seventeen year wait. They finished on 296 point with Torbay 277, Dartmouth 267 and Newton Abbot 208. Fifteen out of the twenty-three squad won medals and Oscar Mytton won best under 10 boy. Thanks to all the parents and coaches who came and supported on the day and also thanks to Dartmouth AC for hosting a great event.
