More from Eastbourne on April 20th
We were greeted by a bright sunny day at Eastbourne for our first match of the season – though a cool breeze was against the sprinters and indeed against the horizontal jumpers. Not quite sure why the jumpers were jumping into the wind when there was a sand-pit at both ends of the run-up. We…
