Washout at Aberdare

Monday 13 June 2011

The Welsh Under 15 League in Aberdare had to be abandoned yesterday, 12th June, because of the foul weather.

Despite the heavy rain, sixty of the expected ninety Cardiff athletes turned up so well done and thank you to all of them as well as to John and Karen who completed two sets of the Long Jump and Graham for timekeeping.

Hopefully this match will be rescheduled for later in the season.

We shall keep our fingers crossed for a sunny Brecon on 9th July for the next Welsh Junior League meeting.

In such difficult conditions, the officals and the scorers need support and cooperation and, sadly, some parents (we hope none from Cardiff) insisted on badgering the results office and preventing them from doing their job. The results team has decided that, in future, only team managers will be allowed to enter the results office.

It must be borne in mind that all oficials provide their services voluntarily and do their best to provide the athletes with the best possible conditions.
