BRIAN'S BLOG

This is the first post on a new blog so it's as well to say what it will contain over the weeks and months to come.
  • First, it will cover most of the activities of the younger club members;
  • Second, there will be at times a profile of one of the club's juniors;
  • Third, I will include reports from ten years ago or even twenty years ago;
  • Club age group records will be here as well.

Let's start with the results from the first day of the Scottish Schools Athletics Championships at Grangemouth. Today (Friday) we had Johnathan Farrell, Anton Russell and Cameron MacLeod competing. Johnathan had a disappointing (for him) race in the Boys Group A 100 metres when his time of 11.7 was not enough to see him in the Final. Anton had a good run in his Heat of the Group B 100 to be fourth in 12.1 seconds. In the semi final he was timed at 12.35 which was not good enough to get him into the Final. Tomorrow's results will be in next week's blog.

As for club records, we can start this week with the Under 17 Girls performances.
