YOUNGSTERS at three schools in Renfrew got the chance to take part in their annual sports day – even though they were still in lockdown.

Thanks to the team at Renfrewshire Leisure Sports Services, pupils from Kirklandneuk Primary, Arkleston Primary and Newmains Primary competed in a virtual sports day.

All the usual summer sports day events, including the egg-and-spoon race, were held in the pupils’ own gardens as the individual houses at each school competed against each other.

The winning house at Kirklandneuk Primary was Spartan, while the Arkleston house winner was Viscount and the honours at Newmains went to Wallace.
