Wessex Young Athletes League.
We were up against again several of the strongest teams in the league and despite many good individual performances; we again had to settle for last place by only a few points. However, we did quite well in some of the age groups. At the time of going to press, it looks like we’ll finish 4th in the U17 women and 6th in the U13 boys. The league however gave us some great competition and super days out (who will forget the trip to the Isle of Wight!).
