Shortage of healthy athletes takes its toll
Following our disastrous result down at Horsham, we had planned on a better result down at Salisbury to keep us aware from the relegation zone. However due to sickness and holidays we were short of a coupe of our stars and a too small contingent of only nine were left to cover all the events.
I gained our first win in the 400m Hurdles, which was the first time in n years that I’ve done that. This was swiftly followed by a pulled hamstring in the 100metres putting me out for the rest of the day.
The ever reliable Ian Ford gained an excellent win in the 500om which was made all the better by Paul making a steady and composed effort over the same distance to easily win the ‘B’ String. Keith Vallis gained a victory in the steeple but with no second string runner was to prove costly at the end of the day.
Simon Morgan was our field star with a first in the Hammer and two seconds in the Javelin and Discuss. Ian Vosser ran his first track race for the team, just breaking that magic 30seconds barrier he also gained vital points in the Long and Triple jump.
Sadly we finished equal 4th with Holland Sports, which really puts us in the mire down in 18th place in the league, 1 place above the relegation zone.
