The British High Commission in Banjul has donated a range
of official London 2012 Olympic merchandise to winners of the national school
athletics championships, which took place at Serekunda West Mini Stadium Monday

Among the prizes donated to the winners were lunchboxes, drink bottles, London 2012 mascots, footballs and school rucksacks.
