Youngsters scooped a haul of medals at the Saddleworth Olympics presentation night.

Around 1,000 children competed as members of seven village teams, representing 13 Saddleworth villages, in 12 sports over three weeks of competition.

A junior boy and girl and a senior boy and girl from each Saddleworth village were chosen as the Spirit of the Olympics.

Each child taking part also received a participation medal with plenty of gold, silver, bronze and slate medals up for grabs.

Team SAS (Springhead, Austerlands and Scouthead), who had one of the smaller teams at the summer games, scooped three silver, five bronze and two slate medals.
