Inter-Counties Round Up – July 2016
It’s been a busy month of Inter-Counties matches, finishing with two matches on the last weekend.
As the senior match at Bedford ended it looks like the men have won the national title again, albeit sharing it with Essex. The women were third.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to a fine team performance, and a special call out to our individual winners Angelita Broadbelt-Blake and Greg Thompson. The full results are at http://www.englandathletics.org/athletes/english-national-championships/2016-england-athletics-championships

We also regained the women’s title too. See http://www.hampshireathletics.org.uk/events/tf-ic-senior.html for the results.
