SOUTHERN LEAGUE MEN MISS OUT ON THIRD
Men's Southern League Division 3, Oxford 18 May 2002
The
Men’s Southern League Division 3 team - depleted by exams, injuries and the
clash with Men's BAL fixture - were a solid third at Oxford as Kent AC &
Reading romped away with the points.
| The
track highlight came right at the end of the day when Rob Warner and
Martin Chester won a steeplechase double. Warner was also second in the B
800m, and third in both triple jump and 400m hurdles. Chester was picked
up runners up points in the sprint hurdles.
There was also a win on the track for recent signing Anthony Okeke in the 200m B string while the busy Neil Collins improved his best in placing 2nd in the 400m B string. Neil also claimed 800m third and 1500m fourth. Gary Howard kept on running, following up second place in the 500m with third in the 1500m. The busy Jon Hart tackled five track events and placed third in four of them. |

The
field events were a triumph for Kevin Deacon who threw the senior weight hammer
43.59m to win the event and set a new club under 20 record, improving on his own
mark set a week before. He also set a new shot PB.
Decathlete
Leo Barker provided useful cover gaining second places in the sprint hurdles,
shot, discus, fourth in the pole vault, as well as running in both relays. Sam
Harrison stepped down from British League action to place second in his javelin
speciality, and was similarly placed in the hammer where he set a new PB.
Another second place came from Kevin White in the B discus.
With
two of the six league fixtures gone the team’s promotion hopes already look
out of reach but a good showing with a stronger team in the next match at
Walton-on-Thames in three weeks (8th June) could put a shine on the
season.
