Southern League Div 4 {North} match 2 Southend 21/05/05
Return to Southern League header
Report and results by Danny Rose
| The combined Walthamstow, Eton Manor
and Orion mens known as Forest Athletic to everyone but the Southern
League made its 2nd appearance of the season. Sadly clashing with the FA
Cup Final, most teams seemed small but the 9 man Forest team especially
so. Highgate turned up with a similar size team, so it quickly became
evident that whoever could cover the most events would claim an easy 2nd
place. Forest Athletic rose to the challenge, covering as much as
possible, though just jogging through certain sprint events made some
events almost a farce which is a sad comment on the Forest team and the
Southern League in general. Very strong winds affected the whole afternoon with falling debris almost accounting for Forests own Sydney Wooderson himself - Dey Wilson {concussion does not count as an excuse in the season rankings}. Everyone did their bit with special guest appearances by Roger and Dave - now available for promotional work now Weightwatchers have given up sponsoring them! Tom and Nick covered the field events
and looked good for the future. |
