Well done to everyone today who helped out and participated at Match 3 of the Midland Track & Field, Division 3. It was a very successful day for us as a club hosting the match at Aldersley, made even more enjoyable by winning the match with a considerable margin. You can download the provisional results here, but please bear in mind these have yet to be cross-checked and verified by the MCAA.
The results from the Shugborough races last week can be downloaded here. Vets over 160 years (combined age for team of 4!) finished second, over 200 years finished third and ladies came fourth. Pride of place goes to the under 52 years category where the team of Chris Brookes, Jack Machin, Josh Douglas and Toby Robinson won!!!!
Well done everyone!

Pete Watling competed in the Staffordshire Schools Country Championships at Northwood Stadium in Stoke on Saturday 6th June.
Pete took the Senior Boys 100m title in a time of 10.8 seconds, equalling a record set by K. Croydon 41 years ago in 1969. The following day Pete completed in the Midland Counties U20/23 Championships at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, taking Silver in the 100m in 10.92 seconds and Gold in the 200m in 22.34 seconds. On his way to the final Pete recorded a PB time of 22.33 seconds in the heats.
Well done Pete!
Well done to the runners who recently completed the 12 week beginners course run by Anna & Trish, many have ‘got the running bug’ now and decided to stay on and become club members. Some of the group ran the Race for Life last week, so as well as now being super- fit, let’s hope they’ve raised loads of cash for such a good cause. There are a couple of photos in our picture gallery.
