Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire both staged their county championships recently, and Bedford and County athletes competed at both events.  There was only a partial field programme at the Cambridgeshire championships due to lack of officials.  Those field events not held on Saturday will be held at open meetings in June.

The youngest members of the junior section of the club took part in a very tough first YDL Match at Bedford on 8th May as part of Team Bedfordshire, a composite team with Biggleswade, Leighton Buzzard and Luton. We were up against some extraordinarily strong teams from Basildon, Brighton and Hove, Croydon, Herne Hill and Medway and Maidstone.

Congratulations to Alan Turnbull, who set a new M55 10 mile club road best of 57m 20s at Dereham on 15 May - this is Alan's third M55 club road best since the beginning of April.

5000m

Jack Goodwin, 13:51.66 (PB), 3rd in race A - congratulations to Jack, first time under 14 minutes and a big PB!

The club's senior teams were in National Athletics League action at Chelmsford on 7th May.  The women's and the men's teams both finished sixth out of eight teams, with the combined result being seventh.  Chelmsford made the most of home advantage to win the match.  Our home match at Bedford is on 4th June.

Congratulations to Alan Turnbull, who set a new M55 10 km club road best of 34m 41s at Langtoft on 1st May.
