On Sunday a large team of our juniors took part in the third and final Heart of England Track and Field League Division 2 match at Worcester. We had more athletes in all but one age group, with our juniors rallying to try and stay in the division. There were great performances throughout the day with several PB’s and lots of close events taking place. Thanks must go once again to the club for subsidising the coach which allows so many of our juniors to compete. Thank you too to all the officials, coaches, parents, supporters and to Julia as Team Manager who have supported our juniors so enthusiastically over the season.
Following placing 6th and 8th at the first two fixtures it was always going to be a hard task to avoid relegation and despite an improved turnout we finished in 8th once more to confirm our relegation to Division 3 for next season. Our lack of numbers in a couple of the age groups proved decisive when competing against this level of competition. Looking to bounce back next season!
