National Young Athletes’ League, Croydon 30th June 2002
The Under 17 boy’s team travelled toWoodford Green for their last NYAL league fixture of the season. The boys needed to win this fixture to have a very slender chance of avoiding relegation, but we were facing the league leaders Enfield & Haringey.
The team has been seriously weakened all season by the lack of available athletes in certain events and this proved to be the case yet again. With only 7 Under 15’s and Under 17’s, the boys trailed throughout the meeting and finished in fourth place with their worst points total of the season.
The meeting was eventual won by a huge margin by league leaders Enfield & Haringey, with Tonbridge and Aldershot FD in 2nd and 3rd places.
Individual winners For the under 13’s, there were wins for Paul Adair (A) in the 800m and Nat Senior (B) in the Long Jump.
For the under 15’s, Joe Ford made an impressive start in his first competition for the club by winning the Hammer (A).
For the under 17’s, Andrew Bartlett gained wins in both the100m (A) and 200m (A), Mark Connelly in the High Jump (A) and Andrew Meech in the 800m (B).
Despite the overall match result there were some good individual performances, with many of the boys, although not winners on the day, achieving personal bests. These were Ashley Reece who ran tremendously and sliced 24 seconds off his previous PB to gain a Grade 1 standard in the U15 ‘s 3000m, Bradley Falco (U13 100m), Christian Newton (U15 200m) and Danny Skelt (U17 1500m).
The final match results are as follows.
Final result:
| 1st | Enfield & Haringey | 300 pts |
| 2nd | Tonbridge | 138 pts |
| 3rd | Aldershot FD | 126 pts |
| 4th | Havering Mayesbrook | 114 pts |
