Match 1:  A great start to the T&F seasonwith a convincing win. Congratulations to all our team members - John Exley (Full results attached below) 

Match 2: Well done again. 2 out of 2 wins (Full results attached below).  The final for all the League winning teams will again be at Ashford, on Sunday 5th September, so please put this in your diaries.  Cheers,  John  

Match3:

After all our injuries and team reshuffling, we did really well - another victory. You will see some of our OCAC girls also helped Radley to their victory (2nd claim to Radley).  Congratulations to all, and thanks to all who covered events they would not normally do, and thanks to Brian Green and Pete O'Keefe who stepped in at the last moment on the night!  Short of a disaster in the final match (at Bracknell, Monday 12th July), this guarantees our league top spot and means we will be in line for the Southern Area Final again, at Ashford on Sunday 5th September. This will be a full match including all the events held on the Monday evenings, other than 5k and 3ks/c (but does include 3k flat). We missed it last year due to a series of injuries but we intend to be there again this year - John (full results attached below)
 
 
2008 Final, Ashford, Saturday 6th September

An excellent effort - I don't know if Blackheath & Bromley (winners) realise how lucky they were that Gareth Davies unfortunately pulled a hamstring warming up for the long jump! I conservatively reckon that we would otherwise have won by 1 point! We all wish Gareth a speedy recovery

Mention must also be made of Chris Sykes's excellent win in the M50 800 against Bob Minting of B&B in a time of 2:13, but was unfortunate to be disqualified for a minor infringement of the green break line. Our theoretical victory could otherwise have been a comfortable 9 to 10 points, but as it happened it made no difference to our creditable 3rd place.

I must also confess to my utter failure to register a height in the M60 high jump. Thank goodness Bruce Hendrie turns 60 in a couple of weeks!

Bruce Charles ran his very last race for us in the M60 200m, after about 17 years of excellent performances for us, Bruce is retiring from competition, having struggled with injuries for some years. Bruce was instrumental in establishing us as a major force in Veteran athletics in the early days. He is still going to be active in coaching, and promotions - he is running the BMAF Decathlon and Heptathlon Champs at Horspath on 13th and 14th Sept. We all wish you well Bruce.

Finally, many thanks to Margaret and Barrie Strange who officiated all day, and thus relieved our athletes from OCAC quota of duties.
