Spectrum Roller Skating Club travelled to their third national competition this year last weekend, this time to the Bolton Opens held at Smithills School.
The team of nine competing skaters didn’t disappoint, returning home with a collection of 14 medals, including two individual and one team first.
Coach Tracy Stevens said: “It’s not just the success of the medals but what has impressed me the most is their performances.
“The skaters have shown great determination this year and as a result have made huge improvements.
“Their fantastic attitude shines and their confidence has grown so much in such a short time. People from all over the country congratulated our skaters for their fantastic development but also their conduct and the whole club’s team spirit.
“I am ecstatic and would like to invite everyone along to our roller disco celebration, with the theme of Glow Skate on Friday 6th October at Sunnydale Leisure Centre from 7.30-8.30pm.
“Please bring your skates along as skate hire is limited.”
