The first EMAC League match took place at Milton Keynes on Wednesday 10 May, and everyone travelling over through the torrential rain was, I’m sure, ready for a thoroughly wet evening, but the clouds broke and the sun shone.
For Bedford and County AC the evening started well with ‘new Masters’ Darren Kerr (M50) and Glen Kerr (M45) taking first place in the hammer, and on the track Adam winning the 1 mile walk.

Roy Chambers and Dave Folgate continued the winning start in the triple jump, and these early successes were followed with further wins for Roy and David Olusanya in the 100m, Tenny James at 400m, Andrew Leach at 3000m, Damian Larrington, another Newbie, in the M35 Shot, Darren also in the shot, Roy again in the high jump and the winning ways were completed with a win for the M50 relay team of Tenny, David Steve Bass & Simon Coombes.

During the evening there was great support from Graeme Packman in the M60 Hammer & Shot, Charlie Palmer (3000m), Pete Benedickter (400m & Relay), Simon Coombes (400m), and Phil Bowers in High Jump, Triple Jump and relay.

At the end of the evening B&C AC ran out winners with a total of 163 points with MMKAC in second place on 133 points.

Final Match Team Positions & Scores :-

Also, a special mention to the Bedford & County Ladies who competed at Milton Keynes :-

Sadly Amy suffered a calf injury in the last 30 metres whilst leading her 400m race but managed to hobble across the finish line.  
Hope to see you back soon Amy!

If there are any athletes reading this who are over 35 and would like to compete please let Jim Keech know, just ask at the track and someone will point him out.
