A THREE-strong team of local lads enjoyed success in their first relay triathlon, taking first place in their debut attempt.

Craig Yates, Alistair Baker-Brian and Jack Shackleton (pictured) took part in the North West Relay Triathlon, held in Nantwich.

The Tytherington High School pupils, all aged 15, were up against adult competitors but, with Yates taking the swimming leg and Shackleton the cycling, Baker-Brian led the way home in the running section.
