2026 Track and Field Leagues – information

Information about the 2026 Youth Development League, Southern Athletics League and Eastern Veterans League matches

As a club we are passionate about competition, and we are entered in 4 Leagues for the 2026
season. We ask that all our athletes make themselves available if selected for these matches
and represent the Club. In team competition points are awarded for finishing places so every
place that can be filled increases our chances in the match. We also get points for supplying
officials.
