Team Rollerblade and South Woodham Ferrers Rollerspeed skaters got among the medals at the first leg of the British Outdoor Track Championships in Birmingham.

Gold medals went to Chanel Moore, aged 14, getting her first win in the 200m senior ladies time trials, setting the winning time with the first lap and enduring a nervous wait as the field tried to top her mark.

Jonathan Morris also tasted gold for Team Rollerblade in the junior boys 200m trials, sweeping away the field as the final racer. He added silver over 1000m and bronze over 10,000.

Sam Morrison and Richard Webb entered the cadet boys 200m trial and held a one-two until the final skater pushed Morrison into second and Webb down to third.

Over 3,000m Webb edged out his clubmate to take silver, while Morrison claimed bronze.
