Overall this was another excellent set of results which has built on the
opening match result and has now placed us in a very strong position. This
means we need to consolidate this at the next fixture on the 7th
July at Coventry and press the home advantage on the 10th August.
I would like to thank everyone who competed / attended for their efforts
yesterday, well done to you all.
There were many superb individual performances on the day, particularly in
the field events, with a huge throw in the discus by Martin Bartholomew who
I am told increased his personal best by 1m. Glenn Unsworth also improved
his personal best in the hammer 5 times during the event.
In the women’s shot Jade Weston threatened the 12 metre mark on several
occasions before unleashing a tremendous throw on her last attempt which
measured 12.65m a personal best by some 70cm.
Whilst on the track Chelsea Cooper hurdled her way to victory and set a new
personal best in the 100m Hurdles with a time of 14.9 seconds.
There were many other excellent individual men's results, with wins for
Steve Bazell (A) and Gavin Walters (B) in the 3000m SC, Martin Bartholomew
(A) and Greg Nixon (B) in the Shot Putt, Martin Bartholomew (A) and Greg
Nixon (B) in the Discus and Glenn Unsworth (B) in the Hammer. Richard Porter
was unable to find his PB form from the previous match, but managed to
finish a creditable 2nd in the 200m.
A very strong women’s team had
only 4 finishes outside of the top two positions! Morgan Brown was in
scorching form with win’s in the 100m(A) & 200m (A), Chelsea Cooper
with wins in the 100mH(B) and Long Jump (A),
Emma Jackson (A) and Kate Anderson in the 800m, Katie Holt (A) and

Also many congratulations to youngsters Michael Harding and Cloe Green who
made their debut in the senior league. They both competed in the 3000m
events with Michael finishing as an A competitor in the mens race, and Cloe
finishing a creditable 2nd in the women’s (B) string.
