British Athletics League - Gold Cup Semi-Final Haringey - Sunday 10 June 2001

Havering Mayesbrook’s Senior Men are still suffering from depleted numbers. Illness, injury, exams and work commitments continue to make it impossible to field a strong team.

The semi-final line up with five Clubs from the top 2 divisions of the British Athletics League presented an impossible task to qualify. With an important League match in a few weeks any athlete carrying an injury missed the match. But although finishing in the bottom two it gave an opportunity for some good performances, despite the cold, wet and windy conditions.

Under-17 Steven Prady moved up to Senior athletics jumping 1.85 to place 4th in the high jump. Danny Gamester competed for the first time this season, finishing 6th in the Hammer with 42.91m being his best in a series of throws all over 41m. A number of athletes recorded personal bests, Matt Bland ran 34:55.6, to finish 5th in the 10,000m, Gavin Maley placed 3rd in 1500m with 3:56.6 and Sam Harrison threw 48.79m to come 6th in the Javelin.

Rob Dickenson ran the 800m finishing 8th in 2:00.7 and Shaun Stewart long jumped 6.23 for season bests, Shaun also competed in the 100m – 6th in 11.5 and the 200m – 7th in 23.3.

Graham Pritchard took on the 5,000m race finishing 5th in 16:43.3 and Rob Warner came 8th in the 3,000m Steeplechase recording a time of 10:58.3.
