And finally...

Full marks to Katie Larkworthy, who is clearly a 'glass half full' kind of person judging by her comments at the end of this nib destined for next week's paper.

"PLUCKY Tandridge youngsters finished bottom of the pile in last weekend’s Surrey Youth Games.

Seven to 15-year-olds from across the district battled it out in sports such as judo, badminton, athletics and basketball in the annual competition held jointly in Guildford and Woking.

Despite their best efforts, Tandridge came last out of the 11 districts, notching up 34 points overall compared to winners Spelthorne district which got 87.

“I am very proud of everyone who has taken part in the Surrey Youth Games and look forward to hopefully even greater achievements next year.” said Katie Larkworthy, Team Tandridge organiser."

Definitely cricket. Sad that more youngsters are not encouraged to 'play up and play the game' for the enjoyment of participation, regarding winning as a bonus. While, in any competition, there will be one winner, one runner-up and one bottom placed competitor, is everyone who participates not a winner, really?
