UK YOUTH DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE SOUTHERN PREMIER 1 – The final fixture took place last Sunday at Allianz Park.
A good day at Allianz Park saw us secure a clear 2nd place, within 50 points of a dominant Blackheath squad and well clear of 3rd placed Windsor. Our final position of 2nd in the division, our best performance for some years, guarantees our place in the National Final. It has been a long season but we can now look forward to a break from team competition and selecting our best team for the National Final in Birmingham on Sunday 3 September where it will be tough to beat not only Blackheath, but also Birchfield from the Midlands and the composite teams from Edinburgh and Glasgow representing the North.
We had a number of new and existing members competing for the first time and we hope they all enjoyed the experience. With a number of athletes away on holiday, it was great to see volunteers coming forward to fill gaps. There were many good performances, which are detailed below in the results section. New member EVAN CAMPBELL had a good day in the U17 age group with victory in the Shot, 2nd place in the High Jump and 3rd place in the 100m Hurdles with all 3 performances being SBH bests for the season. ALEX PETTY also made an impressive debut taking victory in both the “B” string 100m Hurdles and 400m Hurdles. There was a hat-trick of wins from OLIVER GRAHAM in the Hammer, Discus and Shot. The highlight was the new club record of 43.94 set by the U17 men’s 4 x 100m team of ROBERT THOMAS, MICHAEL ADEBAKIN, JOSH KUMAR and MICAH AGYEPONG which moves them up to 5th in the UK Club rankings.
HANNAH FOSTER continues her excellent form after her victory and PB the previous weekend in the U17 300m at the Schools International in Dublin with victory in the U20 200m and a new PB. JAZZ SEARS also continued her excellent form after her victory and PB the previous weekend in the U17 Triple Jump at the Schools International in Dublin with a win in her speciality event. It was also good to see a win in the U17High jump and PB from KARA ONUIRI.

Well done to everyone who competed and of course to our 3 athletes, ELLIE BAKER, GEORGE EVANS and DOMINIC ASHWELL who were doing great things at the European Junior Championships in Grosseto, Italy.
