After giving second best to EYAL league champions Milton Keynes last season the joint Havering Mayesbrook young athletes team turned the tables to record an excellent win at very windy Milton Keynes on Sunday.

The new team managers Mike Munson, Kathy Reece and Sue Deane pulled out all the stops with the available athletes to cover almost all events, and with many girls tired after exertions the previous day in the Southern Women’s League at the same venue, produced an excellent team result to romp home winners by over 50 points.

In the youngest age group, with many new recruits appearing in club colours for the first time several new stars emerged. In the sprints Lilla Jacks and Roxy Wicks made it a winning 100m double, both in 14.1 secs PBs, while in the 200m Lilla was 2nd in 29.3 PB, with Roxy again 1st in a PB of 30.4s. There were two gutsy middle distance runs, Ingrid Deane 1st in the 800 in 2m 35 PB & Michaela Roberts also 1st in 1500 5m 35.7. In the hurdles Nicola Hill and Catrina McAuliffe both claimed PBs, and there was a winning relay performance from Lilla, Roxy, Ingrid & Nicola Hill.
