Track & Field Team Review … a good steady season with both the men’s and women’s teams in the National League both finishing mid-table in 4th place … let’s hope the long awaited Joint League for men and women will get off the ground at last in 2020 so our teams can be together at fixtures … also the Southern Athletics League team were mid table in 16th place out of 23 teams … the Masters men’s team were 3rd out of 9 teams , the women need a few more regulars to improve their position … Young Athletes participation is on the rise again in both the Middlesex YA League and the Eastern YA League … well done to all those whom supported the club teams …
