U13 Girls Show Great Spirit at South West League

Sunday, 07 May 2017

On May 7th we took ten U13 girls to Exeter Athletics Arena to compete in the first South West League meet of the season as part of the YOAC team. Many of the girls were only year 6 and had very little experience of competitive athletics but after a little gentle persuasion soon overcame any nerves and entered into the spirit of the day.

Following on from last years promotion, our womens and mens combined team consolidated their place in Division 2W of the SAL with an excellent hard fought victory at Andover on 15th August. After a tough start to the season this team came out fighting and won the last two matches of the season to finish in a creditable 6th out of 16 in the league.
