THE Junior Worksop Harriers put in another outstanding performance to strengthen their hold on third place in the Notts Mini League after the second meeting at the Harvey Haddon Stadium at Nottingham.
Harriers chairman Peter Fendley said: "The rebuilding of both of the town's secondary schools has meant we have lost both running tracks we had access to."
"That our juniors can out-perform so many clubs with full facilities is a credit to both th
e youngsters and our very dedicated coaches who do an excellent job."
"Budding young athletes are always welcome to come along and join in."
The juniors meet every Wednesday from 5pm to 6.30pm at St Augustine's school
