UK Women's Athletics League Division 3, Match 1, Leeds

Great result from match 1 at Leeds

With athletes dropping out through injuries we took a team of just nine to the John Charles Stadium and team manager Bob Bridges thought it would be a damage limitation exercise; but the nine performed magnificently and if we can fill some of the blank spaces (as per normal the 1500m and upwards) we could be in danger of promotion. As Bob said afterwards, "It is days like this that makes it all worthwhile".
