A team from South Pembrokeshire Hunt branch of the Pony Club recently competed in the first of the winter area triathlon competitions held in Carmarthen.

Competing in the minimus boys event (12 years and under) were Jack Goldsworthy Spuffard, Edward Andrews, Fred Meyrick, Charlie Andrews and Lorcan Williams. All the boys did extremely well with Jack coming first in the shooting, closely followed by Lorcan. Jack and Charlie recorded excellent personal bests in the swim, with Jack and Edward recording superb personal bests in the run. Meanwhile, Fred did well in all disciplines to come fourth overall, whilst Jack did brilliantly to come first overall. Well done Jack!
