One of the longest school sports meetings was completed on the longest day of the year.

Thursday, June 14, saw the 100-metre dash, not just by sprinters, but by everyone, to avoid the heavy shower of rain which put an end to the first half of this year's sports on Narberth Town Moor.

Pupils, parents and guests alike were disappointed and frustrated that this important event in the school calendar could not be completed in one go. It was a bedraggled group of volunteers who remained to remove all the trappings of a colourful occasion.

The rain had put paid to half of the events for the day, but not before pupils had demonstrated their excitement and enthusiasm for the occasion.

Resplendent in house colours they had marched out into their bays to the applause from a large group of parents and guests. Everyone was then treated to some excellent competition and effort from each age group.

The four and five-year-olds brought loud cheering from proud parents as they dashed for the finishing tape, unsure of what to do when they reached it and with an occasional tear of bewilderment.

Senior pupils, on the other hand, raced the length of the Town Moor in keen competition straining to be first over the line.

The sprints and skipping races were concluded before the accurate weather forecast put paid to the afternoon events.

It was one week later on a gloriously sunny morning of the Summer Solstice that the houses could emerge again to complete the competition. This time there was a smaller but equally vociferous gathering of parents present to provide the family atmosphere.

Again an accurate weather forecast meant that the event could then be completed. The delay had not diminished the exuberance and commitment as each race demonstrated.

The Mayor of Narberth, Clr. Mrs. Sue Rees, was able to join the school for the second time and presented the shields and trophies to the relevant house captains and individuals.

The Lewiphone Challenge Cup for tunnel ball winners went to Blackbirds while the Eric Feetham Shield for relay champions went to Magpies house.

Clr. Colin Williams was present and able to present his shield to Victor Ludorum winner, Joe Allen (Magpies) and Victrix Ludorum winner Carys Owen (Blackbirds).

The Lillabette and Phoenix Endurance Shields were presented to Madeleine Hamilton (Magpies) and Joe Allen (Magpies) respectively.

There were loud cheers when the overall winner of the Fire Station Shield was announced as Blackbirds gaining 408 points, with Magpies in second place with 371 points and Sparrows with 346 points.

The sun eventually shone to make his a happy occasion and pupils now look forward to the District and County Sports.

Results were as follows (B - Blackbirds; M - Magpies; S - Sparrows):
