Bury AC hosted its first Mini League fixture of the season on Wednesday 15th April. Torrential rain delayed the start of the meeting, but then the weather improved and a total 124 young athletes from local clubs, including 33 from Bury, enjoyed the competition organised by Bury coach Helen Vaughan.

The club achieved a good number of medal winning performances with gold medals going to Rahmese Knight (U10 girls 50m), Emily Urquhart (U14 girls 200m), Lexi Fawcett (U14 girls 800m) and Phoebe Thompson (U14 girls long jump).
