A mix of new and seasoned junior athletes made the journey to Basildon for the first EYAL match of the season. This was the first league match where the new age groups were used. Apart from a few issues with the organisation of the match and finishing 1hour 15 minutes late everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We came away with a total of 105 PBs, 60 for the girls and 45 for the boys. Match 1's score currently leaves us 5^th in the league.

We would like to say well done to all athletes for their outstanding performances and effort. They make us very proud and are a brilliant asset to the club.

Thank you to Emma and Allen for their help on the track. To Steph, Jon, Graeme and Martyn for officiating in the field. An extra thank you to Liz, Mary and Matthew for being parent helpers. 

Without the help of the officials, parent helpers and parents who came and supported the team we would not have had such an amazing start to the league.
