Thirteen Stevenage and North Herts athletes were in action at Westminster Lodge, St Albans on Saturday. Returning to competition for the first time since 2016, thrower George Marvel picked up the 7.26k hammer and threw a Senior Club record in the sixth round. The record by Luigi Bellu of 50m56 had stood since 1999. George plans further competitions this year and his throw of 51m44 is unlikely to be the record for very long.
