A massive well done for this incredible Southern Athletics League match. As a team you completely smashed it at Dartford today to take the win. We are waiting for confirmation but believe we have just missed promotion and finished third in the division.
Sarah and I cannot thank you all enough for stepping up and filling in events, cheering each other on and helping out.
All the athletes have been incredible this season. And thank you very much to Judith Carder, Richard Garland, Christel Shaw, Graham Ingram, Melanie Anning, Tracey Brockbank, Richard Carter, Dave Owen, Fliss Owen and Jo-Jo Cokka-Wokka for officiating, stepping in and picking up implements and making the matches possible.
