Welsh Senior League Division 2 - Match 3 Deeside 2nd August
Surprise result for Newport Harriers Seniors
Newport’s tiny B team wended their weary way to Deeside, North Wales for the 3rd
round. The team of two intrepid travellers, both Masters, were the only ones
prepared to make the 200 mile trek Northwards.
On arrival it was apparent that the same fate had befallen the other teams in
Division 2 (and some in 1 as well), so as the 2nd biggest team on the day the
guys set about covering 10 events as tactically as possible. Keith got things
rolling in the vault with an easy win in the bluster conditions, whilst Colin
took on the hammer. Then it was onto the field events with Keith securing a win
in the shot allowing Colin to win the B as the only competitor. Keith then took
2nd in the 100m into a strengthening gale force wind before the pair moved onto
the Discus as officials and competitors. Another double win ensued, and this was
almost repeated in the Javelin later in the day. At the end of the day Aberdare
just had too many athletes for us, but it did take their 6 to beat our 2.
