The Young Lad’s & Lasses’ done well at our home match on Sunday, we finished 3rd in both divisions. We had to make several last minutes changes that caught us out administration wise. Otherwise without doubt 2nd place would have been guaranteed. What was notable was the large percentage of grades especially grade 1 we obtained. Well done to our youngsters. (Not that bad at relays either)
Grade 1’s for Rebecca Hawkins, Cameron Lyttle , Jason Okusanya, Ethan Akkani
Grade 2, Jason Okusanya, Toby Moth, Ethan Akkani
Grade 3, Ethan Akkani
Grade 4 Deyo Adetosoye, Grace Thomas, Toby Moth, Matthew Roach, Jack Smith (2), Moses Aregbesola

National Youth Development League – Match two under 13; s & 15’s– Dartford Saturday 1st JUNE 2013
The 2nd Youth Development match and the half way stage of the season for many of us. It’s a local event at Dartford hence we will not have a coach. So please make your own way there or team up with friends. Some field events start at 11.00, with the track following at 12.00. (last race is 17.00)

Though still spaces left blank in some events, it was just as well we took our largest team out to Canterbury so far this season. We had to ask many of the boys and girls to step out of their comfort zones to cover events, and they returned with some very pleasant surprises in many areas.
Please check out the results on the KCAA web site www.kcaa.org.uk/ The two third places were excellent results against stiff opposition at a very crowded Invicta track. My thanks to all the parents who helped.
Please keep this momentum going and our next match is at Dartford on the 1st June, very much our rivals for promotion.

How come our youngsters done so well but we finished 4th out of 7?
It’s quite easy to explain, we had no throwers, also only 3 under 13 girls, and not as many under13 boy’s either. This was a great shame as the team performed fantastically, two of the local teams above us filled their team sheets, and Essex Beagles likewise who also had a very strong sprinter group (though they found out ours was better). Attached is the link for the results http://www.ukydl.org.uk/page10.html please check them out, as you will see the Bexley lads and lasses done us proud.
Our next match is the Kent Young Athlete league at Canterbury this coming Sunday 12th May. We will have a coach leaving at 9.15 from the usual place. Thanks to our officials John Askew & Dave Winfield & Tony Garrett as always. (Thanks also to Mitch’s Dad Graham for the photos and the parents who helped us on the day.)
