01 Jul Pearson Cup – It’s a Famous Five for South Devon AC’s young aces

South Devon Athletic Club’s junior section made it five wins in a row in the most prestigious local athletics meeting of the year.

The annual Pearson Cup competition pits four local clubs against each other, with South Devon’s athletes up against teams from Torbay AC, Newton Abbot AC and Dartmouth AC.

And the team of 35 – backed up by their coaches and around 70 supporters – kept their grip on a cup they have held since 2021 with a commanding all-round display.

This year’s event was hosted by Dartmouth AC, and the winning South Devon team excelled in sprinting, endurance running, throwing, long jump and high jump.

Afterwards a club spokesman said: “It was an amazing achievement, and it was great to share it in such a family-centred way.

“To the athletes, your coaches are so proud of you, big congratulations.”
