The Mid Lancs. Medal meeting held at Robin Park,Wigan certainly was very productive for Chorley AC athletes.

Rhian's coach Alan Morris was delighted by her overall performance and believes it won't be long before she will be challenging the club's international thrower Eloise Manger!
Chairman John Payn believes that " the strength of this group to achieve five Gold, four Silver and one Bronze medal and six personal bests highlights how talented they are. This is down to excellent coaching and dedication to training, and we at the club are extremely proud of their achievements."
