Primary Schools cross-country races With the 2020 primary school races having to be cancelled because of the coronavirus it was great to see the primary school children back in cross-country action for the 2021 races at East Court. Numbers running in the years 5 and 6 races were inevitably a little lower than usual but…
Here we go again – beginning to get ready for 2022

Not a lot to tell you about – but can you help at the schools cross-country races on SUNDAY OCTOBER 10 ?
I’ve been away for a little while and with the summer athletics season coming to an end I haven’t had much to tell you about. However we had the East Grinstead 10k race over this last weekend where a number of us helped with the marshalling. A couple of our athletes took part and one…
Summer season nearly at its end
Last league matches of the summer Our last league matches of this rather different season took place over this last weekend – under 13s and under 15s on a cloudy sun-less Saturday while the under 17s and under 20s had lots of warm sunshine on Sunday. Both matches at K2. The season has seen a…
Bank Holiday news

A quiet weekend for once
It’s been a busy few weeks (and weekends) recently – and so I quite enjoyed a weekend without any athletics to watch or to measure. So instead I had a friend’s 70th birthday to celebrate on Saturday, and then a family with our own sons and wives and children – and dogs – at Tilgate Park…
Last Saturday at K2 A deleted team of just 7 athletes for our senior match did their best but inevitably we didn’t score too many points, not that that matters too much in the league this season. Just one first place and that was a bit of a surprise because the athlete who gained the…
Last week at K2 Just a short catch up from last week at K2 on what was at times a rather wet afternoon – well I certainly got wet in 2 of the 4 long jump sessions I helped to judge. One of the jumpers was our own Chloe Wibrew who produced a couple of…
News from Saturday at K2 when I get it
K2 last Saturday We had a small number of athletes competing on Saturday at K2 but I haven’t yet seen the full results. I’ll tell you more I see the full results – from both track and field events. For the first time in a number of weeks there are no matches this coming weekend,…
A very wet day in Brighton (updated with performances from the match)
News from match at Brighton We had 7 athletes taking part in last Sunday’s match at Brighton as part of the Team Sussex squad along with athletes from Lewes and Eastbourne. Good to see Lottie Clarke in the 200 metres and a leg of the 4 x 100 relay in her first match for us…
