The senior men's team finished their first season back in Southern League Division 1, with a second place finish at Eton on Saturday in a close contest with Yeovil.
There was an impressive Division 1 debut from 17-year-old junior Luke Stott who won the A long jump, B 100m, set a 400m PB in finishing second in the B race and ran strong legs in both relays.
In the sprints also Matt Russell contributed two comfortable individual wins in the 100 & 200m A races and anchored the sprint relay squad to an impressive victory, while Scott Spencer won the B 200m and was A string 400m runner up.
There was a strong B string showing as Mark Bishop won both 110 hurdles & long jump B events, Danny Gamester won the B hammer, Sam Harrison the B javelin and Stuart Tufton the B vault.
Irish international decathlete Joe Naughton, who has been training with Olympic champion Erki Nool in Estonia, made a welcome return to club colours with two runners-up places in the throws.
Season's bests were recorded by Kevin Benton (400m hurdles) and Rob Warner (steeplechase) while 15 year-old Ashley Reece, making his Division 1 debut, went close to his 1500m PB in a tactical race which came down to a last lap sprint.
