Track & Field
THE track and field season is just around the corner, and Mike Harper is looking for some new recruits for the Stubbington Green squad.
This season we are competing in Southern League Division 3 West, with the first fixture taking place in sunny Cornwall on Saturday, May 3rd with a fixture in Newquay.
“We have been competing in the Southern League for seven seasons and after getting promoted a few seasons back have consolidated in Division 3 West. As that suggests we compete regionally, and the venues this summer are Newquay, Salisbury, Southampton, Abingdon and Bournemouth.,” explained T&F captain, Nike.
“If you can help, particularly at the first fixture at Newquay on May 3rd , then please let me know. We hope if we get enough interest to take a minibus there. Even if you can’t compete through injury or because it’s a men’s league you would be a big help to come along and judge a couple of field events, which we are obliged to cover. This often means measuring throws or jumps, retrieving the discus or raking the sandpit.
“If you can make the first fixture at Newquay PLEASE let me know as Newton Abbott have dropped out so just finishing the race or getting a throw in will earn 3 points. Newquay are strong so we will have a contest with Poole Runners for second, and it may well come down to who can fill most events!”
