May 3rd, 2008: Men’s athletics season starts with a bang
Posted by Paul at 11:59 pmThe SLH men’s track and field season made the best of starts at Tooting on Saturday, as the team won their first match in quite some time. Exploiting the fact that their opponents all had double fixtures, SLH team manger Phil Hartnett fielded a strong team to score 103 points. Our hosts, Herne Hill, were second with 84, just ahead of Serpentine on 82 and Medway and Maidstone on 75.
A good mix of seasoned campaigners and up-and-coming youngsters meant we were competitive in all areas, bar the pole vault and high hurdles. Scoring results below (non-scoring to follow):-
