says ‘Truly proud’ team managers Alan and Jackie Butler

A fantastic night of veteran’s athletics was witnessed at Battersea Park Stadium on the 2^nd fixture for the season on Monday 6^th June.

 There were some wonderful individual performances by veteran athletes who would hold their own with others 20 years their junior. The night was capped with a fine grandstand performance in the team relay events of the 4 x 100m where the men’s and ladies teams came 1^st and 2^nd respectively.

Outstanding performances to note in the mens team were Jason Steele’s heroic comeback in the 800m to overtake serpentine and Herne hill harriers ‘best’ on the home straight clinching victory on the line. Keith Seldon, the field events supremo, cleared up as usual in the hammer and shot. Scott Farley again proved his versatility by putting in fine performances over the 200m, 800m, 3,000m and 4 x 100m; all in the space of 2 hours!  Andy Mansi, John Myall and Dave Martin were also great,  taking care of the over 50’s and 60’s sprints, jumps and middle distance.
