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...

Sussex County Championships We don’t go into the County Championships expecting to win lots of medals and this year was no exception. 10 medals in all, but no first places among them. Our recent improvement in the throws was again noticeable. Rebekah Tyler picked up 2 throws medals in the under 17 age-group – second...

Match on Sunday May 5 A number of our under 17 and under 20 athletes – school years 10 and upwards – went to Medway Park in Gillingham for their first league match of the season, as part of the Team Sussex squad. Team Sussex is a team made up of athletes from Haywards Heath,...

Match on Saturday April 27 Our youngest athletes – school years 6, 7, 8 and 9 – went to Ashford last Saturday for their first match of the season. We didn’t have as many athletes as we would have liked and finished 5th of the 7 teams taking part. As always the athletes that did...
