Training as normal this week Although we are now into half-term week we will still be holding our normal training sessions over this coming week. We do realise of course that some of you will be away. Dates for matches in the summer of 2019 We have just received provisional details of most of our...

Schools cross-country races on Sunday October 14 Another great day ay East Court for the schools cross-country championships. While we didn’t see any sunshine we also didn’t have the heavy rain that the weather forecasts suggested were heading our way. Lots of athletes with lots of parents to cheer them on. We also had lots...

We’re back training for the summer of 2019 A good turn out for the first evening training session of the autumn last Thursday, with a good number of new under 13 athletes – including many who were in our academy over the summer and have now moved into school year 6. Sunday morning numbers at...

East Grinstead 10k It was good to see a number of our people helping out at Sunday morning’s East Grinstead 10K starting at Imberhorne Upper School, organised by the local triathlon club. I also saw a few of our people actually running in the 10k – Sam Curtis of our active athletes, secretary Becky Barrow...

This coming week is the last of our 3 week September break. We will re-start Thursday evenings at Imberhorne on October 4 and then Sunday mornings at East Court on October 7. However next Sunday September 30 the East Grinstead 10k takes place, starting at Imberhorne Upper School. We will have a number of our...

Combined Events Championships We had a good sprinkling of medals from the Sussex Combined Events Championships at Sutton over the weekend, but perhaps more importantly a good number of pbs to end the season with. I have most (though not all) of the results from the weekend. Our 2 masters athletes earned medals from their...

Last under 13 and under 15 matches of the summer We had the under 15s at Brighton on Friday evening, with a few regulars not able to compete. Overall we finished fifth. We only had one first place and that was in the very last event of the evening. Our 4 x 300 boys relay...

All England Championships We have had a couple of our athletes competing at England Championships over this weekend, although in rather different age groupings. Cameron Wells was pole-vaulting in the under 15 boys event at Bedford while Wayne Gadd was competing in the over 45 British Masters Championships in Birmingham. Cameron produced another pb with...

Senior match on Saturday August 15 at Tooting Bec A disappointingly small number of athletes were available for our last match with 6 ladies and 4 men – with Jack Sanders taking part in his first senior match in the javelin. And of course the other teams also had athletes missing, but we seemed to...

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...
