Mixed results for YAL team

Wednesday 8 June 2011

The third NYAL fixture of the year was held on a mild but blustery day at Cheltenham on Sunday last, 5th June.

Despite some wonderful individual performances, Cardiff again struggled to field an under 17 team of note as a result of exam congestion so a big thank you goes to those that did compete.

The team has competed in Cheltenham in the last 2 seasons more often than at our own track and this has been to our disadvantage.

The match result was as follows:

1. Swansea (609); 2. M Milton Keynes (546); 3. Cardiff AAC (419).

Cardiff's individual event winners were as follows:

Under 13 Girls:
Lauren Evans (70mH); Elishka Coupar (800m).

Under 13 Boys:
Harry Hillman (100m & high jump); Jake Hayward (1500m).

Under 15 Girls:
Claire Taylor (75mH & long jump); Kate Seary (800m); Olivia Evans (pole vault).

Under 15 Boys:
George Griffiths (100m, 200m & long jump).

Under 17 Girls:
Lucy Daly (pole vault).

Under 17 Boys:
Sam Gordon (100m & 200m); Adrian Laurence (100mH); Ryan Cooper (400mH); Jac Palmer (hammer); Matteo Holmes (javelin); David Callum (pole vault); James McGuire (long jump & triple jump); Matthew Field (shot put & discus);

The under 17 boys team also won the 4x100m relay.

Many thanks again to Alun "Gary" Garrison , Graham Webb and all the other parents who helped out on the day and also to Julie Jones for stepping in as Team Manager for the day.

We look forward to an away day at Oxford on the 19th June for the final NYAL Fixture of season 2011.
