Weekend Round Up 6th/7th May
The Lily B team finished 3rd and a report will appear shortly once we receive the results from the organising club.
Monday night saw the first veterans league match and a few of our top veterans were on display. Walton compete in a combined team with Richmond and Twickenham. Robin Roach won the M50 discus and shot, Debbie Singleton won the women’s discus and shot and Jo Regan won the 100m and long jump as well as leading off the relay team fast enough to be ahead of one of the mens teams on the first leg. Andrew Kennard was competing in his first vets league match and was leading the 400m when a hamstring twinge caused him to ease up and settle for 2nd place. The ladies team won the match and wwe are still waiting to hear the mens result.
Next weekend is the Surrey Track and Field Championships at Kingsmeadow stadium, hopefully we will have a large and successful entry from Walton athletes.
Closing date for Surrey Vets champs is 13th May. Champs take place on Saturday 27th May and details and an entry form can be found at Surrey Veteran’s Championship
