CLEETHORPES Athletics Club duo Rachel Bell and Patrick Atkin performed solidly at an invitation only event in Scotland.

Both made the long journey to Dunfermline Athletics Stadium to compete for the Humber South Team in the Youth Development League.

And the pair thoroughly justified their selection with good showings in the Under-20 age group.

Difficult weather conditions greeted the athletes in Pitreavie.

Patrick Atkin, who is a multi-events athlete, had a fine 400m result in the 'A' race, coming second in a time of 51.7.

This was backed up by a fourth place finish in the long jump 'A' competition with a leap of 5.75m. He was also fourth in the A shot putt with 10.35m.

His final event was the discus throw, in which he finished a creditable second in the 'B' competition with 24.66m.

Bell, meanwhile, was selected for the Under-20 100m 'A' race – although she is still an Under-17.

She had an excellent result, coming equal first in 13.31, a very good time for the conditions.

A tie result in time and position is very rare in athletics. In the 200m, again the 'A' race, Bell had another good run to come second with a time of 26.75.

The Humber South team is a composite squad from Scunthorpe & District AC, Lincoln Wellington and Cleethorpes AC.
