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

In the U13 match at Kingston the teams finished seventh overall, despite some athletes not being able to make it to the match due to the disruption caused by the cycle race.

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