A slightly depleted team of the club’s junior athletes turned out for our 4th and final league match of the EYAL on our home track.  In warm conditions they produced 53 PBs (22 for the girls and 31 for the boys).  We needed to finish second to Havering and hope the results at Shaftesbury and Norwich went our way to maintain our 4th place league position and advance to the Top Six Cup Final. Throughout the day the lead kept swapping between us and Havering. We eventually triumphed and beat Havering by 61 points.  With Shaftesbury and Norwich both finishing second in their matches we held on to our 4th place. This is the highest we have finished since 2019.

The U14B (101.5) 1st, U16B (129) 2nd, U18M (79) 3rd, U14G (105.5) 2nd, U16G (107) 1st & U18W (96) 4th in their respective age group competitions.

1st Bedford 688

We would like to say well done to all athletes for their outstanding performances and effort throughout the season.  Especially to those who stepped into events that they don’t normally do and to those who up aged on the day to fill gaps and gain us valuable points.  

Thank you to Courtney and team for their work behind the scenes on the day. To Allen, Nick and Emma for their work on the track. To Steph, Graeme, Jon and Martyn for officiating in the field.  Without these volunteers matches would not be able to go ahead.

We are looking forward to the Top Six Cup Final on 6th September at Chelmsford.
