Following the news that our application to join the newly formed National Athletic League has been approved, we now need three senior teams for 2020 (NAL, Midland League & Avon League).

We thought it would be interesting to use Power of 10 to generate some club rankings taken from 2019 performances (all ages) to help us with team selections.

  • The following rankings incorporate all performances using senior throwing implements and hurdle heights.

2019 SENIOR MEN CLUB RANKINGS

2019 SENIOR WOMEN CLUB RANKINGS

As you can see, there are areas where we are strong and areas where we have gaps.

2020 TEAM SELECTION

This year will require a huge amount of team play if we are to succeed.  We will undoubtedly be asking athletes to compete in events they may be unfamiliar with, but we cannot afford to leave empty spaces on a team sheet. Every point scored could be crucial.

We can not field athletes younger than U20 in the National League.  We can however field U17 athletes in the Midland League.

Masters are eligible to compete as seniors, but must use senior throwing implements and hurdle heights.

If you are eligible and want to compete for us in a senior league, maybe use these rankings to pick an unfamiliar event where you think you are capable of attaining a place in any of our Top-10’s.  Then, please enter an early Open Meeting, have a bit of fun and record a performance.  You just never know, you might enjoy it.  You might even be good at it!
