U14 player Ryan’s made the Nationals for Discus & Shot-put.

Ryan was really poorly around this time last year and was in hospital, he was off school for nearly a month, on his return to school he has his annual sports day and because Ryan was unable to do any strenuous exercise or activities he was asked if he would step in and do the Discus for a pupil who was off sick…..

Well apparently he has a good throw! And so our little athlete was born…

He started training and joined the schools athletics team, was invited to travel to Majorca at Easter to train with The schools athletics team, on his return we received a call from Enfield & Haringey Athletics Team to invite Ryan to join their squad in which he did so and he trains without fail every Tuesday & Thursday evenings, he has been competing in quite a few competitions of late and has been selected to compete in both Discus & Shot-put this Sunday for The Nationals….

U14's Rugby coach Steve Ericson said " Ryan plays 2nd row, prop or back row for my team. Great lad. And shows what just being willing to try something else can lead to".
