Sunday 13th April, Kilmarnock
Last Sunday saw Lasswade’s U17, U20s and Seniors compete in the Scottish National Athletics League – our first official participation in the league since it started a couple of seasons back. The competition format is similar to an open-graded competition with athletes drawn against other athletes of similar abilities in the track races.
There was a strong blustery headwind on the home-straight which meant the sprinters had difficulty matching the times from the previous week’s competition at Linwood in the glorious Spring sunshine. Still, it was good to see some Lasswade athletes take up the opportunity to compete – it’s still early in the season and hopefully more U17 athletes and above will sign-up for the other matches this season.
SNAL – Match 1 Results
Match 2 takes place on Sunday 18th May at Aberdeen Sports Village. Anyone interested should complete the sign-up form by Monday 5th May and also be aware that as per the league requirements, each club will need to provide 3 officials/helpers so parents may be asked to assist.
Our friends at Edinburgh Athletics Club have kindly offered us spaces on their coach which will leave Meadowbank at 7 am with a pick up at 7.20 at Lidl on Glasgow Road. Any athletes, coaches or spectators are welcome to travel on the coach at no cost but a token contribution is welcome. If you are interested in getting a space on the coach, please add this to the comments section of the sign-up form. Spaces will be limited so if you are interested, sign-up soon.
