Outstanding win for Team Dorset in YDL LAG 1 at Walton!
On a cool, blustery day by the River Thames at Walton, Team Dorset U13s and U15s – the “Lower Age-Group” – started their 2019 campaign with an excellent win against the other five clubs in South Division West 1. The table shows the contribution of the PAC athletes on Saturday. Note the two Club Records, all the PBs and the huge points gathered by all (‘A’ athletes gain 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 points; ‘B’ athletes gain 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)!
The gusting wind was a tail wind for sprinters and hurdlers but a head wind for the Long Jump, and caused the cancellation of the PV. It was also an amazing experience for the High Jump athletes! The other two clubs assisting Team Dorset are Dorchester AC and Wimborne AC.
