Report and results by Danny Rose
| The final fixture of
the all too short summer season was held at Walthamstow track. The
combined team of Walthamstow AC, Orion Harriers and Eton Manor -
collectively known as Forest Athletic ended the season on a high. Plenty
of athletes {mainly new faces}, plenty of enthusiasm plus all the clubs on
the day brought large teams which resulted in many hard fought close races
in both matches. Forest athletes gave many notable efforts - Derek in the sprints, Joseph running a stunning 52.4 / 2.03.0 400/800 double (Alberto who?) and two new steeplechasers giving it a go for the first time - Neil & Jack - we bow down to you all. In the field events, Lance was another great point scorer and was always backed up by the 'man for all events' Tom! Hosting the event would not have been possible without the officials and helpers from all the clubs, but on behalf of Forest, many thanks to Pam, John, Chris, Terry, Clive, Alan & Steve. As for the season, well the last two
fixtures showed great promise, the first 3 fixtures I hope we can consign
to the memory dustbin. We undoubtedly have talented athletes locally, but
making them into a cohesive reliable team will take some effort. Something
to ponder on through the long winter months ahead. |
