and injury. He gained second places in the A Pole Vault, Shot and Discus
to add to another second place in the B High Jump and winning the B
Javelin.
Danny
Gamester also made a welcome return, competing for the first time a knee surgery
gained an impressive 2nd place in B string Hammer.
Mark
Bishop was able to have, for him, a quiet day. He competed in only 3 events,
placing 2nd in the B Pole Vault and Long Jump a 4th
in Javelin.
Phil
Sadler and Scott Spencer, well supported by David Kearns did well in the
sprints. Gavin Maley, Rob Dickenson and Graham Pritchard contested the Middle
distance races. With Graham running both the 3000m Steeplechase and the 5000m.
The
track highlights included a fine third place in the 110m Hurdles who led until
crashing in to the final hurdle. Gavin
Maley surged from the back of the pack to snatch third in the 800m and an
untried 4 x 100m relay team of Spencer, Sadler, Barker and D Kearns finished an
excellent 3rd in 44.2 seconds.
