Track & Field
SAFE for another season, Stubbington Green's track & field team have avoided the drop.
After the final fixture at Bournemouth, the Greens finished third in the fifth match of the series behind winners Team Kennet with 93 points, with Plymouth second on 85 points, Stubbington were three points adrift of the Devonians and the Dorset hosts fourth on 76pts.
That means that in Division 3 West, Stubbington finished 12th from 15 teams. Usually two teams are relegated from the division and those berths are filled by Team Dorset and Haslemere. But because Newton Abbott dropped out of the league at the beginning of the season, it may be that basement dwellers Haslemere are the only ones to be relegated.
Newquay & Par were crowned champions and will be promoted along with second-placed Chichester, though the Cornwall team may decline promotion because of the extra travelling.
"It has been tough after missing the Cornwall trip, but looks like we should stay up ok," said track and field captain, Mike Harper.
