Wet, wild and windy. The weather that is, not our athletes, but it did mean personal bests were hard to come by. After a promising start to this year’s Southern Athletics League, we struggled for points at the second meeting, and we finished third, well behind hosts Harrow AC. On […]
It was a hectic start to our home match for team managers Bridie & Denise! Bride turned up without numbers and Denise had to make a last minute dash to scout camp to nab Kai & Kane. Many thanks to Kirk for speeding down on his bike with the numbers […]

Veteran Pete Flewitt scored his first outright road win with victory at the Much Wenlock Half Marathon today, beating the course record by ten minutes. He ran 84:10, which gives you some idea of how tough the course is, when you consider Pete’s PB is 75:21! The race covers some […]
After our successful outing at last week’s Ealing Eagles 10k, a slightly smaller group of 11 set off to tackle the multi-terrain Stockley Park 10k. Steve Elson made a welcome return from an Achilles injury to take third place in the men’s race, while Mark Delahunty, also absent last week, […]

We had a successful morning at the Ealing Eagles 10k in Gunnersbury Park on Sunday, scooping the men’s and women’s team awards. Jamie Taylor-Caldwell won the race outright by a minute from Paul Piper of West 4 Harriers, with Jamal Mohamed of Victoria Park & Tower Hamlets close behind in […]
There were PBs galore at the Watford Open last night, despite the chilly breeze and the intermittent rain. Eight ESM middle distance athletes took part in the graded 1500m races, and seven of them went home with PBs. The biggest improver was Lucy O’Brien, who sliced 11 seconds from her previous […]
Ben Waterman was only narrowly beaten in the 800m, and came away with a silver medal in a time of 1:51.43. Mo Hashi contested the 1500m but was eliminated in the semi-final. Siobhan Drummond competed in the discus but couldn’t replicate her recent good form and did not make the cut.
