GOLD was the colour for Bury’s young sporting stars when they triumphed in the Greater Manchester Champions Challenge.
Team Bury won seven events in badminton, rowing and girls’ football, plus three bronze medals.
The Champions Challenge, in partnership with the Manchester United Foundation, is a competition involving the 10 boroughs in Greater Manchester.
One of its aims is to work with national sports governing bodies and unearth the sporting champions of the future.
The event took place at the Wright Robinson Sports College and at Trafford Metrovicks.
Bury’s winners were helped on their way to success by Bury Council’s sports development team and local volunteer team managers.
Pritesh Patel, borough team director with Bury Sport Development, said: “Team Bury did the borough proud again this year, winning more events and more medals than ever before.
“Seven gold medals, and seven Greater Manchester champions, should certainly be celebrated.”
