Another superb performance from our athletes at Match 2. We finished 2nd again which leaves us 1st overall, after Back to Back promotions can we make in three in a row?

There was another strong showing in the women’s short sprints with Jess Waters and Isabelle Skelton taking a top 2 placing in the 100m and 200m A and B strings.

Chris Monk eased around the 800m to a comfortable win as John Kelly filled in in the B string to finish 5th. Gary Burnham, Paul Castledine and Chris Holmes were useful additions to the team filling the 1500m and 300m alongside Ben Burnham.

Some tactical team managing in the men’s Hurdles replacing ensured maximum points with Jordan Mitchell winning the 110m Hurdles, Stefan Willcockson winning the 400m Hurdles and 110m Hurdles B string and Jenson Rowe winning the 400m Hurdles B string.

And another superb 4x400m for the men saw another win beating their match 1 time by over 1 second.

On the field Isabell and Caprice Miloro secured maximum points in the Long Jumps taking 1st and 1st with Jordan and Jenson coming 2nd and 2nd in the men’s. There was not much else to shout about on the field, just a lot of mid standing finishes to bulk up our points.

Another shout out to Team Manager Hannah Kelley who again competed in 3 events to fill in the gaps. Please, stop making us watch this…
