Midland League Report

25/07/2017/in Midland League/by Jeremy Dale

MATCH REPORT

THIRD MIDLAND LEAGUE

SUNDAY 16th JULY AT YATE

 

Sunday 16th July was the home match at Yate – the third of four Midland League fixtures.

The conditions were good with a nice wind for the sprinters !  We had our usual last minute team reorganisation following some unfortunate drop-outs in the days preceding and on the day itself, but in the end the team that made it to the track, albeit our smallest team of the year so far, managed to secure a fantastic win.  That means we have won 2 of 3 matches so far, and are in a strong position overall.

Yate AC members who made up the team (male):  Daniel Brooks (U17), Mark Lodge (V45), Matt Muggeridge (V40), Elliot Chard (U20), Steve Beardwell (U23), Leon Graham (U20), Adam Wilson (U23), Jack Joynson (U20), Matt Spicer (V45), David Johnson (U17), Ben Wells (U23), Josh Snook (U20), Anthony Glover (V40) & Eugene Lawlor (V60)

Yate AC members who made up the team (female):  Karen Jones (V55), Ruby Ogborne (U17), Lucy Durham (U17), Georgia Crew (U17), Emily John (U17), Jo Smerdon (U23), Maria Townsend (V35), Floren Scrafton (SW), Chloe Phelps (U17) & Hannah Hobbs (U20)

There were once again some fantastic performances across the board from both Bristol and West and Yate athletes, with some of the Yate performances highlighted below:

Daniel Brooks took advantage of the favourable conditions in the 100 and 200, with a SB in the 200m.

Ben Wells got back to his early season form with a PB in the 100m and close to his best in the 200m.

Tom Pallot joined the team for the first time this year, and moved up to the 400m, taking a whole second off his PB, in the closest race of the day!

Georgia Crew jumped another PB in the Triple Jump for 3rd place in the A string.

Jack Joynson won both Long and Triple Jump A strings, with a PB in the Long Jump.

Hannah Hobbs won the A string 800m comfortably in a PB time.

Floren Scrafton , competing in the league for the first time in a while, dominated the 1500m A string.

David Thomas showed that he is coming back into form, with a 1.75m SB performance in the High Jump.

Emily John was second in the A string high jump, with a fantastic 1.60m PB.

Ruby Ogborne stepped up to the Midland League for the first time and jumped close to her best in the Long Jump with second place in the B string.

Jo Smerdon won the A string Javelin and picked up valuable points in the Discus as well.

Chloe Phelps threw the 600g Javelin for the first time, and showed excellent form with the second longest throw of the afternoon.

The hammer squad of Matt Spicer, Eugene Lawlor and Karen Jones all brought home great points with 1st or 2nd place in their events.

And I don’t often mention myself, but was proud of my Triple Jump, going No 1 in the 2017 UK V40 rankings as I head into the European champs.

These are a selection of the performances, but this is a team event, so all points, great all small, add up to our final total for the day.  A big well done to all the team members whose points all added up to help us secure the win and increase our overall lead of the division.  Thanks also to all the officials and helpers that made sure we delivered a home match that ran perfectly.

 

Looking forward to the fourth and final match, on Saturday the 5th August in Nottingham, where we will look to seal the league victory.

YDL Regional Finals Can you help this Sunday?

19/07/2017/in YDL/by Jeremy Dale

The U17/U20 YDL Regional finals are being held at Yate this Sunday starting at 10.00am, some of the usual crew are away so if you are able to help it would be much appreciated.

The day starts at 8.00 am putting equipment out, then during the day its a case of moving hurdles and putting equipment away at the end. You will be part of a team so will not need to know what you are doing initially.

In between you will have time to cheer on our athletes in a bid to get to the national final!

If you are able to help for any part of the day please contact Pat Jefferies @

tonyandpat07@gmail.com

or ring 07717264694

Thank you

Jeremy Dale

Busy times!!! AT&F, YDL and Midland League!

18/07/2017/in Avon Track and Field, Midland League, YDL/by Jeremy Dale

Whilst we are still awaiting the official results for the AT&F competition on 9th July all I can say at the moments is it was a great day and a real team effort which everyone seemed to enjoy!

On the 15th July Team manager Sam took the YDL U13/15s to Cardiff for the regional Finals which in itself was a tremendous achievement, as we were only promoted last season! below is Sam email to the athletes which sums it all up.

‘want to say a massive thank you to each and every one of the athletes that competed in any event in any round throughout the season and tried their best. The competition was fierce yet still pb’s were achieved!! Some came and competed whilst feeling ill and injured, some tried events never done before and yet again some stood in last minute! You were all fantastic and behavior was professional and sporting.

Thank you to the volunteers that give up their time to help official as without them there would be no competitions!
Thank you to the parents that drive their athletes tirelessly to training and competitions – without you I would have a team!
And last but certainly not least thank you to the coaches that constantly help out and spend hours… well…. coaching!  Without them we wouldn’t have such great quality athletes!
We finished in 5th place this time which is fantastic as it’s only our first season at this level and we made the regionals.  Some athletes learnt it doesn’t always go the way they want it too but not once did they give up and for that reason I can’t wait to work with you all again next year.  Some of you will move on to U17’s and I will miss you dearly but wish you every luck in the world. Keep doing what you do, working hard and believing in yourself.
Athletes Remember: Well done for all your efforts, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… It doesn’t matter whether you wear 6, 66 or have a different number… all you can EVER do is achieve a personal best… you are all individual and it’s super important to me that you aim to better yourselves rather than feel you have to win points… Not every round will go as you want it too but that’s all part of the learning curve of athletics and competing – never give up!
 
A special thank you to James Viner who has come along and supported his team mates even though he wasn’t selected and helped out today as my p.a. & photographer!
It’s been a pleasure team managing you all. Here’s to 2018!!
Sam Hillier-Smith
AKA a VERY proud team manager.
Our thanks go to Sam for a tremendous first season as Team Manager. She has done such a great job!
Then on Sunday 16th we co hosted the 3rd Midland league Competition at Yate, which we won! This puts us in a good position to win the division if we perform well at the last meeting in Nottingham on 5th August, so if you can, please make every effort to be available and travel there to help the team. Thanks go to Matt Muggeridge, our team manager for doing such a great job this year (and many previous years)!
