A busy last few days have seen three meetings for our athletes – and school holidays meant we (and I suspect all the other teams we were competing against) had athletes missing. Last Thursday evening saw the under 13s at Horsham and with only 3 boys turning up – Daniel O’Sullivan, Fin Gadd and Jack…

I have at last seen the results from Ryan’s decathlon last weekend at Bedford in the South of England under 20 decathlon. He was a clear winner of the event – his 6673 points beat his own under 20 club record set only 3 weeks ago and put him about 1200 points ahead of the…

Ryan Spivey took part in the South of England Under 20 Combined Events championships last weekend at Bedford. I don’t have the full results but I do know that Ryan improved his previous best score for the 10 event decathlon by about 200 points to 6673. There were inevitably some pbs – in particular in…

A warm sunny – and dry – day at Gillingham for the last Saturday match of the season for our combined under 13 and under 15 team – although there are still midweek matches for both sets of athletes.  The undoubted star performance of the day came from Tom Dean. One week after his success…

In the morning Abby Beswick had her heat of the under 17 girls 80 metres hurdles. There were three heats with the first 2 from each heat plus the 2 fastest losers going through to…

With the heavy rain that fell last night, plus the thunder rumbling round the track, we felt we had no choice but to postpone last night’s club championships. All the events that were due to be held last night will now take place next Tuesday (July 15th) evening from 6.30 – in particular the sprint races will…

Congratulations to all those that were able to compete at the Withdean Stadium in Brighton yesterday.  On what turned out to be a very warm afternoon, we had many fantastic performances from everyone that took part.  We’ve finally got the results and they can be found on our Facebook page and on the website here…

I have been away on holiday for the last few days and that explains why I have not updated the website recently. I’m now back and am trying to catch up with everything – it will take me a couple of days to do so. However while I have been away we have had some…
