With a few injuries, we didn’t score as well this week, but still comfortably into the Shield Final in two weeks’ time. Unfortunately Peter Coumaros has injured himself, so won’t be available for the finals.
Darryl Kilmartin has now qualified for the javelin and the 100m hurdles. Hopefully Graham Ford will have recovered from his quad injury, and join Darryl in the hurdles.
Though he hasn’t competed enough to qualify for the finals, Michael Scales took a break from the high jump to break the over 50’s record for the 100 metres. He will be a great addition to the team next year.
Teams at the moment look like:
100 metres: Paul Mierisch, David Firth, Warren Hattwich, Graham Ford (Darryl Kilmartin)
