Young athletes win league to seal promotion

Updates from lower age group YDL

There have been two lower age group YDL matches since my holiday. This is the league for U13/U15 young athletes and the matches couldn't have gone better with the club winning both matches to secure the league title with an unblemished record of 4 wins from 4 league matches.

On the 8th July, the 3rd league match took place in Guildford and despite the fact that a broken cage meant that there were no long throws which is a great source of points for the club we still won with some amazing performances from the whole team.

The 4th and last match of the season took place in Eton on Saturday and again the club came out on top sealing the league title. This secures the club promotion to the premier league for the first time in its history.

There are lots of people to thank but I want to pay particular thanks to our officials who give up their time to ensure the matches can take place and to Team Manager Polly who has made sure everyone got to their events on time and with the right numbers on their vests.

Most of all however, the young athletes have done their club and themselves proud with amazing performances across all event groups and the club has now won an astonishing 3 consecutive promotions going from division 3 to division 2 to division 1 and now to the Premier league all in consecutive seasons. This league will be fiercely competitive next year, but we are up for the challenge.
