Teamwork in the SML
In 2010, the Senior Men’s team had enjoyed a third successive and successful year in the top division of the Southern League finishing 8th. This was achieved by a combination of a great team spirit and some fine individual performances. Marvin Gayle set a new Club record in the 200m as did Bob Broadbridge in the shot. Young Alex Crannix just missed the senior high jump record by 1cm. The multi-eventer Ben Millar was by far the highest points scorer.
The Senior Women’s team finished 2010 in a very creditable 6th out of 16 in the Southern Women’s League Div 2 in 2010. During the season 28 athletes competed for the team from U17’s up to Veteran’s age groups. There is a thriving team spirit within the club and a desire to turn out for the team. Throughout the season Newbury amassed a fantastic 47 wins. Helen Broadbridge lead the way with 6 victories from two meetings, gaining two grade 1’s with a hammer throw of 48.33m and a discus distance of 37.42m.

The Women’s and Men’s teams both performed well in their league finishing 3rd and 4th respectively. This is a fun league to compete in and hopefully we can encourage more members to compete in it in the coming season.
