There was a win double from Daniel Lammas and Nathan Hart (PB) in the 800m, with Daniel runner up in the B 100m and B long jump.

The 4x300m squad led all the way to victory thanks to Daniel Lammas, Noah Harriott, Oliver Taylor-Bush and Ike Okwudi.
The Under 13 Boys were scored well. Shea Sweeney & Oliver Sillett won both 800m races, and Freddie Rowe won the B 100m as Findlay McLaren was second in the A string.
