The powerful women’s squad, who ended last season on a high with second place in the national final, got their season off to a flying start with a second place finish. But the newly promoted men, competing in the Southern Premier Division for the first time, found the pace hot and ended up in the wooden spoon position.

The Ladies, racked up no less than nine individual victories and dominated the match in the events from 400m to 3000m.

Harriet Scott again starred, winning the 1500m in a new PB and also set in new lifetime best in the two lap event in which she placed second. Sadly for the club she misses the rest of the summer season as she has now headed off to Malawi for four months as part of her pre-university gap year.

Her B string partners were both victorious. In the 800m Hayley Stibbs marked her club debut with a narrow win while Helen Roche improved her PB in claiming victory in the 1500m B.

In the 3000m Megan Foley led from the front an defied the breezy conditions to win by over 100m and her B string partner Robyn Matson dipped under the 11m barrier to take the B string honours.

Chloe van Wulven was a double winner, coming from behind as Shaftesbury’s Noni Mordi faltered at the last barrier, and her first time high jump clearance of 1.65m earned her maximum points.  She was ably supported in both events by busy Sara Luck who won the B high jump, and collected a trio of third places in both 100m & 400m hurdles and javelin.

Junior international Lucy Sargent, fresh from relay practice with the national squad the previous day, shrugged off the cold headwind to win the 100m.

The 400m duo of new signing Lucy Rodgers and Lauren Clark were both runners up in their respective races, and Lauren later returned to also place third in the B discus in a  new PB, while her older sister Lynsey Clark was third in the A competition.

There were also top three placings for Kirsty Smith (long jump), Christina Kalejaiye (B 200m), Nicola Schofield (400m hurdles) and Danielle Ross (B shot).
