Heart of England Track and Field League – 5/5/2018

Saturday 5th May saw the first fixture in this years Heart of England Track and Field League which was held at Royal Sutton Coldfield. Following two successive promotions we knew it was going to be an increased level of competition that we faced in Division 2 but our juniors responded with some great individual and team performances. Our 39 young athletes were accompanied by officials, coaches and parents and were never lacking support. We finished in a very creditable 6th position out of 8 teams but we were short of athletes in a couple of the age groups and to be sure of maintaining our place in the league we really need more athletes to compete and fill the spaces on our team sheet for the remaining two fixtures at Banbury (24/6) and Worcester (8/7).  Thank you once again to the club for contributing to the cost of the coach travel, it really does help get more athletes to compete and helps to foster a great team atmosphere. Congratulations to all those who took part and represented the club so well and good luck at the next fixtures.
