In the third match of the year, held in Newport yesterday, Saturday 9th July, Cardiff's Welsh Under 15 League team proved to be the club's most successful this year.

The team has won each of its three outings and, with one match to go, is looking to romp away with the overall league title and qualify for the Cup Final and another chance to overturn traditional rivals Carmarthen Harriers.

Star of the day was Harry Hillman (pictured) who won three events, two in League under 13 records and one of which (75m Hurdles) was also a Welsh age group record.

Cardiff athletes produced numerous winners but also plenty of seconds and thirds which were important to keep the points total clicking along.
