An injury affected Southern Men's team placed second in their final Division 1 fixture at Eton on Saturday, behind hosts Reading. 

With Matt Russell missing with a recurring hamstring problem Luke Stott stepped up to win a 100/200m A string double, the latter in a new PB of 22.3s. 

Scott Spencer showed good form with his fastest 400m time for a few years and added a B 200m victory. 

Trevor Keys won the 5000m and was also runner up in the steeplechase. He received excellent support from his B string partners Tony Collins (5000m) and Rob Warner ('chase) who were both runners up in their events.  

There were B string field wins for Sam Harrison (javelin) and former multi-eventer Arron Bonning who won the B pole vault in his return to top flight competition, as well as gaining triple jump points. 

Captain Mark Bishop again tackled seven events with second places in the A pole vault, B 400m hurdles his best showings.

Salvator Mutijima joined Spencer, Bishop & Stott to form the 4x400m quartet who rounded off the proceedings with a fine victory.  

Further runners up placings were earned by Danny Gamester (hammer), Scott Keating (B 110 hurdles & triple jump), and Mark Connelly (high jump B).

Completing the team's efforts were Phil Tierney (400m hurdle & relay), Gavin Maley (400m), Neill Collins (800m) and Andrew Tierney (discus & hammer). 

The team's result consolidated their third place in Division 1 and should ensure that the club is invited to compete in the British League promotion fixture at Abingdon on 10 September.
