The Under 17 boy’s team travelled to Norman Park, Bromley for the penultimate McDonald's League match of the season. The boy’s acquitted themselves well with a good second place behind Shaftesbury Barnet, despite losing many of the more experienced team members through injury and other commitments.

In the under 13’s, Ashley Reece (pictured) notched up another impressive win in the 1500m, an event in which he has dominated this season. Another name to watch out for is newcomer, Ross Clarke, who ran his first race for the club and gained a creditable 2^nd place in the 800m with a time of 2.21.7.

For the under 15’s, Scott Keating and Joe Golding both had an outstanding day with each athlete gaining two wins. Scott had wins in the Long Jump (A) and 80m Hurdles (A), and Joe had wins in the 400m (B), 800m (A) and also formed part of the winning 4x400m relay squad..
