SAL team struggle at Woodford
The last match of the season saw a much weakened team travel to Woodford on Saturday. Up against first and third in the league with a number of athletes missing due to illness, injury and international call up, those competing stepped up, filled gaps and produced some great performances.
It was good to see Elior Harris back in action after a three year absence. Elior came to HJ and stepped in to cover B shot and hammer and won the B 110 hurdles. U20 Uzo Dike ran a PB in the 200m, ‘tried his hand’ at the triple jump and won the B string.
Ed Laws won the 400H, Nile Odejimi Riley and Bobby Pitman won the A and B LJ, Nile and Uzo won the A and B TJ, Nile won the B 100m, Jess Astill won the 200m and Louise Hampton the B DT.
The mixed 4x400 relays ended the match and the great team spirit ensured the Club fielded two teams. Rhys, Owen, Jess, Martina, Nile, Uzo, Sandra and Louise finishing in style.
Team manager Rhys Samuel was delighted with the season’s results, the team spirit and is looking forward to next year already, hoping that British Rail have fewer weekend closures and his journeys from Cardiff will be easier.
Thanks to Mike Gregory Time, Sally Stevens Track, Alan, Paul and Helen Field who ensured the team gained maximum Officials points for the match.
