In an absolutely fantastic performance Jermaine Mays was the winner of the first Surrey League fixture at Brockwell Park.
It is a huge acheivement and a brilliant feeling to be a member of the team with the overall winner.
Everyone at South London Harriers wishes to congratulate Jermaine on this effort. To put it into perspective the front end of the race contained a huge array of international runners representing the country at a variety of distances. But none of these guys were a match for Jermaine.
With such huge talent on show it is a proud moment to see all the other clubs look enviously at SLH.

Under 17 Boys
Daniel Sellman made a huge effort to blow away the tough opposition in the under 17 boys fixture at Brockwell Park. Daniel was so strong that he gained an astonishing lead early in the race and continued to open up the gap to the finish to beat his nearest rival from Guildford by over a minute.
A superb acheivement. Well done Daniel on capturing the Surrey League title. We are all very proud of you.
The work of the club with our youth section proved to be a huge success for this fixture with SLH being one of only two teams that managed to field complete teams.
Herne Hill took the honours on the day, well done, with SLH coming in a commendable second place.
