It's amazing how the cold and wet weather has been following the Vets league around South Wales, although we didn't get much during the competition it was raining all around. Barry and John got us off to a good start with two well earned 2nd places in the 200m, before the maestro Glyn won the over 50's with the fastest time of the night 26.2.
There was a very interesting high jump competition in which Glyn showed why he does Pole Vault, and Keith managed a close 2nd behind Sean Power of Cardiff. This event always brings out the variation of technique that would make your eyes water.
The relay was out usual high point of the night, lead off man Barry put us 2nd after the first leg but Keith took the lead at 300m. Doc John extended the lead before handing on to Glyn who brought us home several seconds ahead of whoever it was in 2nd place. Unfortunately we didn't win the match.
