 [Match Results and Latest League Positions]
A slightly weakened team travelled to our furthest match for the year at Luton and braved wind and rain showers to grab an important 2nd place. Man of the Match was Sam Parsons – coming back to top form winning a great 400m Hurdles in difficult conditions with 57.4 and then returning to the Javelin to take 1st place overall with an impressive 43.19m. Sam was backed up in the Javelin by Michael Steele-Martin who won the B-string and had to compete in all 4 throws on his return from injury due to being the only dedicated thrower in the team. We also had a maximum in the 1500m with a strong run from Matt Bristow with 4.07.3 and Rich Airey in 2nd place (1st B) with 4.11.0. Paul McKeown and Dave Ingram took 18 points out of 20 in the 110m Hurdles and Pole Vault with Dave having a good attempt at a pb of 4.60 in the PV. Andrew Donno continued his unbeaten run in the 3000m Steeplechase running to victory in an absolute downpour with 9.59.4. We now have it all to play for at Croydon on August 2nd. We just have to go there and get a result and not have to worry about the other teams in the league. Looking at the table, we have Hercules Wimbledon just below us but with an inferior team points and 3 of the clubs around us are against each other at Mile End and so will take points off one another. Worthing are up against Luton and Aldershot at home who could mess things up for our Sussex coast neighbours! Just need a big effort from ALL ATHLETES and supporters on the day to make a quick return to the top division. |

A close match at Worthing saw the men’s team lose their unbeaten run to south coast rivals Worthing, who also beat Enfield so we remain in second place in the very tight league after 4 matches. We had lost a few athletes from the previous match due to multi-event competitions, work and injury but welcomed old-boy Simon Hewitt for his first match in 6 years and Richard Airey from injury. Dave Ingram and Andrew Donno once again provided the top performances with Dave giving us 14 points and most importantly a new pb of 4.51 in the Pole Vault whilst Andrew was again dominant in the steeplechase after a B-string win in the 5k behind winner Matt Bristow. Josh Painter backed up Andrew in the steeple with a strong run in the windy conditions and Jack Hanrahan continued his comeback with the B-string PV victory. Dave Boyce also won twice with a tactical A 800m (2.05.9) and B-string 1500m. The wind and strong competition gave our sprinters problems although all 4 performances were at last season’s bests and Ben’s 100m run a personal best. Andy Adair ran a great 400m for 2nd in a swift 50.7 and Sam Parsons continued his recovery from injury with a 58.0 (2A). |
