Another win will give us the championship. It is therefore very important that we get as many athletes and officials along to Winchester on Sunday July 19th. Match result.

Facilities at Noadswood School
A big thank you to everyone who commented in support of the proposed new facilities at Noadswood School. The club cannot over emphasise the importance that these facilities will make to the future wellbeing of the club. There has been some opposition locally (misguided in my opinion) to these proposals. Your continued support therefore is appreciated.
Wessex Young Athletes League.
Our trip up the M3 to Eton took us to the very impressive Thames Valley Athletic Centre for our second match in the Wessex Young Athletes League. We were up against some of the strongest teams in the league and despite many good individual performances we had to settle for last place. This particular competition does however provide our athletes with some terrific competition.
