Full results

Roy also had this to say about the under 13 and under 15 relay teams:

Over this season our girls' relay teams have done phoemininally well
The under 13's comprising Esther Owolabi, Lydia Whitworth, Cassie Brewer Wren, and Phoebe Thoms won the 4x100 bronze at the county Under 13 champs in July running a fantastic 57.27 which got them a ranking of 80 in the country – a first i think. They have bettered their season's start of 59.9 by over 2.5seconds. Well done girls

Under 15s have also done well winning two relays. They started with 55.0 and finished with 54.3. This great sprint team comprises Naomi Owolabi, Melissa Yassar, Amber Stride, and Louisa Saunders

All of our relay teams have done brilliantly over the season with the just the finals to come.
