Huge well done to all our athletes who took part in the first EYAL of the season in Stevenage on 26th April. So lovely to see athletes competing again for their club and lots of new faces. We are very pleased to confirm the club placed 5th which is a brilliant result as we had the smallest number of athletes. We also achieved 21 more points than at the first match last year. Also a huge thank you to our officials and helpers who also earned the club valuable points. We look forward to seeing you at the next match on 7thMay at home.
