Fixtures & Results

The second fixture of four took place last Sunday at Allianz Park.

The team competed very well to finish a clear 3rd in a very high standard meeting. A number of athletes responded very well in supporting the team even though not “very fit” GLEN WATTS and on the day, we had valuable contributions from athletes covering a number of events following last minute injuries – KRISHAWN AIKEN 200m, JEROME LULE 400m, TOM BUTLER 3000m and LESLIE ADAMTTEN-ADDY 4 x 100m relay. Without these performances, we would have finished 5th not 3rd. Every point counts.

The club were congratulated by both the BAL and UKWAL for organising an excellent and high quality meeting which started and finished dead on time. They both said as did the Chief Announcer, PETER MATTHEWS and TOM POLLOCK, representing Athletics Weekly, that they did not think any other club could have organised such a well-run meeting.

Also to be congratulated is ANGUS MCKENZIE and his Saracens team for making sure the facility was in top notch condition following the Middlesex Schools held the previous day and throughout the day.

We’re very lucky as a club to have such a first class set of officials linked to us who all performed well above expectations to ensure a successful event. As has become customary, DAVE BRADLEY and his catering provision was particularly popular which encourages officials to accept our invitation to support our promotions. The fact that the over 100 officials and volunteers were based on the Mezzanine floor of the West Stand was well received by all.
