National Young Athletes League Yate 20th July 2008

The final round of the National Young Athlete's League was held over the water in Yate. Newport needed a decent performance to stave off relegation, and although the match was tough, the youngsters rose to occasion and we look home and dry. Results from other matches seem to have gone as expected but are not all in yet.
