The final placings have now been completed and are available to view in the updated results post below!! Congratulations again to all those who competed so well (there were some close battles throughout the agegroups). Thanks also for all the folk behind the scenes who work so hard in making the enjoyment possible!
Looking forward to next year already.
And here's a remix with more pics
Several senior athletes took part in this annual road relay over a 2.7 mile course on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Houston, Renfrewshire.
We fielded both a mens and a womens team with both lead off runners getting their respective teams off to a great start. Barney Phillips was 3rd (13.30) on the first leg in the mens race and Keira Murray was 3rd woman (15.06). There was a solid performance on the second leg from Niall Sheehan who finished 5th (13.52) in the mens race and Wilma Kerr (19.29) kept the women in the top 6. On the third leg for the men with another good performance was John Murray (14.04) who finished 7th. Lorna Rice was the final runner in the womens team with a solid run (20.11) bringing the women home in around 13th place (not easy to identify womens teams from the results).
Unfortunately, the mens team was incomplete as our fourth runner cancelled at the last minute. However, at the end of the third leg we were within 20 seconds of 4th spot so who knows what could have happened. The womens team was complete as it was teams of three.

It was a successful day for the club’s athletes who were competing for Team Edinburgh in the National Junior Athletic League final at Derby on Sunday, with all three athletes coming first in their events.
Callum Wilson won the B Triple jump (13.46m), Ross Matheson came first in the 800m A (1:54.03) and was also part of the winning 4 x 400m relay team (3:18.77). Greg Louden took first place in the 400m A (48.19s), ran in the 4 x 400m relay team as well, and collected the Male Track Athlete of the Match award for his performances.
Team Edinburgh finished third overall, only 13 points behind the winners Blackheath & Bromley.
Well done to the athletes on the day, and to the club’s other athletes who competed in the Junior League matches leading up to the final.
The club also had a good representation of young athletes at the Pitreavie Trophy meeting on Sunday where some good performances, PBs and medals were collected.
The results for the Trophy Meeting will be available on the Scottish Athletics website at a later date.
A great day out at Grangemouth on Saturday the 6th September thanks to the continued support of JSB Plumbing and The Marshall Family (particularly). Heartfelt thanks also to to all of the officials, coaches and helpers who give so much to make this and many events throughout the year such a pleasure for all involved. A special well done to the athletes who learn many of life's lessons down at the track and can stand tall as ambassadors for their parents, their clubs and not least, for themselves! The sportsmanship and camaraderie on evidence every competition is a real credit to them and the sport.
Apologies in advance for the lack of balance in the photos but it was too exciting to take pics most of the time. Congratulations to all of our athletes who competed on the day, medal or not! We think we spotted Niamh Fellenger, Hannah Forbes, Erin Feeley, Stuart and Amy Frankland, Katie Purves, Aiden Gallagher, Sean Mullen, Ross Henderson, Kyle Mackenzie, Ian Lawson, Gareth Fleming, Ross O'Brien and Jamie C(?). If we have missed anyone…sorry but let me know (I would also be grateful of any pics which could be added to the "video" !!)
This is coming up in a wee while so get the 7th of November in the diary for helping/running/spectating etc etc.
Just wanted to flag up to any potential sponsors out there that now would be a good time to offer up your "services" so that our thanks (and your name) can be added to the promotional materials. Give me a buzz (07711311952) or email committee via the contact form if you or your workplace would be interested in sponsoring a race or two!
