Southern Athletics League Division 3 (S), Match 2, Lewes
A win in Lewes
In a very close match in which President Charlie Dickinson was pulled off the timekeeper's stand to run a 3000m and middle distance runners took on the pole vault, the boys and girls of the SAL won by just one and a half points after a recount. We are now placed sixth in our division - another win and we'll be in severe danger of gaining promotion!
