They came, they saw, they conquered! Yesterday afternoon, Smith's Woods' amazing athletes stormed the imperious walls of The Coleshill School sports centre hoping for a shot at the converted gold medals from the prestigious North Solihull Panathlon competition.

Every player competed to the abosulte best of their ability, showing superhuman teamwork and determination as well as a herculean level of friendship and respect.

Competition was fierce, nerves were jangling, palms were sweaty, knees weak, arms were heavy but our wondrous athletes rose to the challenge, competing in event after event.

A calm and collected approach saw our participants through to the end of the competition, managing to score an amazing gold place victory over all other schools competing and ensuring them a slot in the national championships!

We are so proud of the entire team and their amazing achievement. Well done to everyone who competed!
