A great start to the season saw the team take second place in the
division. An incredible 26 first place wins, more than any
other club, was just not enough to win the day. There was good back
up from all the team members filling as many of the events as
possible.

The girls’ team won their match with the boys coming 4th.

The day was capped off with the under 15 boys winning both
their relays, the under 13 girls winning their relay and the under 15
girls coming in second.

The first match of the season saw the under 15 boys win their age group by
a large margin. Unfortunately with only two under 13 boys the team finished
second in the division.
There were some impressive results from the boys
with Walton leading the way in many events.
With the cobwebs blown away and
a few more athletes turning out the Club has a chance of winning promotion
this year.

Congratulations to them all

Walton athletes had one of there best years over the 3 match
series.

 A shortage of under 13s boys held the team back, but Sawa Yamakawa
and Sam Mace proved their worth and were selected to represent Surrey in the
intercounties match.

The very competitive under 13 girls age group was well supported with
the Club able to enter up to three teams. The first team always showed well
coming 3rd ,6th and 5th. Hetty Taylor performed very well over all the
matches and was selected to represent Surrey at the intercounties match.
Charlotte Vaughan also impressed in the 6 lap races and narrowly missed out on
selection for the intercounties match. With a large number
of girls competing for the first time we should do even better next
year.

The under the 15 girls again suffered from a lack numbers, but in the final
match the team of Millie Thorpe, Francesca Turner, Sophie Mace and Helena
Garland pulled out all the stops and won the match by half a point from
Kingston. Sophie and Millie were both selected to represent Surrey in the
intercounties match.

The under 15 boys had a good season with 2 third places and one second
place in the final match. Euan Traynor improved through out the season coming
6th overall in the final match.
With his partner Josh Cook they were
particularly impressive in the parrlauf.

Well done to all the teams and five athletes selected to represent the
County.
