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

UKWAL - Belles end up in the top half of the division

In spite of another long haul - to Leeds this time - the Belles turned out a respectable team to place fifth on the day and ended up in the top half of their division ... not bad at all. And not only that, Team Manager Bob Bridges made it to the match to watch his ladies in action so it was cause for a double celebration.
