English Schools Championships An excellent performance from Rebekah Tyler at the English Schools Championships in Birmingham on Friday saw her coming seventh in the Intermediate Girls (under 17) shot putt with a best throw of 12.26 metres, just a few centimetres below her pb from a couple weeks ago. She beat a number of girls...

Recent matches I’ve been away for all of last week and am only just beginning to catch up with results from our matches over the last couple of weekends. I’ll tell you a bit more about the matches when I have indeed caught up with the results. What’s happening in the next week ? Monday...

Matches coming up Our under 17s and under 20s will be back in action on Sunday June 30 at Erith as part of the composite Team Sussex – consisting of athletes from the Eastbourne, Lewes and Haywards Heath clubs as well of course as our own East Grinstead athletes – and I’ll bring you news...

Under 13 and under 15 match due to be taking place at Ashford We’re sorry that the match for under 13s and under 15s had to be cancelled – problems involving the starter and the starter’s gun we understand. Though perhaps we could have had a field event only match ??? There isn’t time to...

We’re disappointed to have to tell you that Sunday’s match for under 13s and under 15s has had to be cancelled and will not be re-arranged. Our next weekend match for under 13s and under 15s will be on Saturday July 20 at Lewes. Both age groups have midweek matches before then – under 15s...

Under 13 match on Thursday evening Our under 13s (school years 6 and 7) had their second midweek match of the season last Thursday evening on a rather cool and windy (and wet in the last half-hour or so) evening. Not at all good weather for athletics. We had a good turn-out of athletes –...

This evening’s training at Imberhorne will start at 6.45 for ALL athletes. We will finish at about 8pm, although if coaches and athletes are happy to carry on a bit longer then that will be OK. There will be NO training for under 13s this evening as they have a match at K2.  ...

Very well done to our athletes at the Sussex Schools Championships We had 9 athletes taking part in the Sussex Schools Championships at K2 on Saturday and all 9 did exceptionally well, especially those who found themselves competing in one of the several heavy rain showers that ruled the day. Our throwers have been in...

Well done to the under 15s at their match on Thursday evening We are seldom able to challenge the Crawley or Horsham clubs in the Sussex Under 15 league but, as long as we have a reasonable number of athletes, we will normally hope to contest third place with teams from Haywards Heath, Worthing and...

There will be NO training at Imberhorne on Thursday May 30. Under 15 athletes (school years 8 and 9) have a match that evening at K2 from 6pm...
