A quiet few weeks With the school summer holidays now under way everything seems to have gone very quiet with reduced numbers, as expected, coming to train. These sessions will continue on both Tuesday and Thursday evenings. However this week is the last Tuesday session at Sackville before we go back to Imberhorne for our...

Recent matches With the arrival of the school summer holidays numbers attending matches and training have dropped off. Last Thursday evening we had 5 boys and 5 girls for our under 15 match at a very hot K2 – but of course most of the other teams were affected as well although Crawley in particular...

Because of today’s heat we are cancelling UNDER 13 training at Imberhorne this evening. For other age-groups and for the middle distance group we are planning to go ahead with training at Imberhorne – but we understand that some athletes may feel it is too hot for them to do any useful training. At the...

Recent matches We’ve had a couple of matches this week with the under 13s going to K2 on Tuesday evening and then the under 13s and under 15s going to Lewes on Saturday. At this time of year we know that we will be missing some athletes as the school summer holidays approach and the...

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 –...
