Senior match this coming Saturday August 15 at Tooting Bec Our senior athletes – which includes those who were in school years 10 and above – have their fifth and final match of the summer. Inevitably a number of our athletes are away – and the other clubs in our match will be similarly affected...

Last Sunday’s match at Dartford I didn’t have the full results from last Sunday’s wet and windy match at Dartford when I wrote my piece last week – and I’ve been away for much of the week – so here are a few more details. In particular Rebekah Tyler continued her excellent season – although...

It’s been raining Just in time for our matches at the end of the week the rain came (plus quite a bit of wind). The M25 also had an effect on our Sunday match as several of our athletes were the victim of long queues on their way to the match at Dartford – but...

  A busy few days We’ve had a busy few days at the end of last week. Thursday evening saw our under 13s in action at Horsham. Many of the teams seemed to suffer, as we did, from schools breaking up – either end-of-year school dos or from family holidays. Just 4 boys but 8...

Senior team at Erith on Saturday On a very hot sunny afternoon at Erith our senior team did very well to come second in the match at Erith – behind Cambridge who are second in the league but ahead of Herne Hill who are third. Lots of athletes doing more than their fair share to...

Sackville school has a big music event tomorrow Tuesday evening (July 10) . So training will take place at IMBERHORNE instead from 7 to 8 (and maybe a bit later). Imberhorne again on Thursday but back to Sackville next Tuesday July 17.  ...

Sussex Under 13 and under 11 quadkid championships on Saturday June 30 A hot sunny day with lots of blue and yellow vests in sight – thanks to all of you who competed in such good numbers. Not too many medals but well done to Mya Lake second in the 100 metres, Grace McCullough second...

Senior match at Lewes We went to Lewes for our third league match with hopes of a third second place, but in the end had to settle for third place, albeit with a higher point count than in either of our first two matches. Hastings were as expected on top while the combined Lewes and...

It’s been a busy few days Thursday at Horsham for the under 13s, Saturday for the schools inter-county match at K2, Sunday on the coach to Woodford for the under 13/15 match, and then I had my grandchildren’s all-day primary school sports day in Haslemere on Monday. All this means that this week’s notes are...

Sussex School Championships on Saturday June 9 I don’t have full details as yet and will give more details when I can. As far as I know Cameron Wells was our only athlete to reach the entry standard for the English Schools Championships to be held later in the summer – a pb of 3.05...
