Saturday 18th June, Grangemouth
Saturday saw the 2nd match of the Forth Valley League at Grangemouth Stadium. The girls turned out in force and the boys team was hit by a number of withdrawals due to injury but it was still a great day of athletics.
Lachlan, Joella, Darcy and Issy all competed for Lasswade on the track for the first time. Joella, who having turned 9 just a few days before the competition was only just old enough to compete. Well done to all of you – the first competition is always the hardest and hopefully we’ll see you on the track again soon.
PBs came from Ollie in the U13 javelin, Lara in the U11 600m, Mia in the u13 200m and Beth in the U15 1500m. A lot of the team are still new to competition and competing in new events so not too many PBs to be expected this time around.
The competition ended with the 4x100m relays and Lasswade managed to assemble 4 out of 6 possible teams. The U11 girls lead the way with a really amazing performance to romp home well ahead of the competition. Surprisingly, the U11 boys all claimed to have never done a relay, even in training and so the main objective for them was to get the baton around safely and fortunately, that was mission accomplished! The U13 girls also put in a great performance to finish comfortably in 2nd place and the U15 girls finished a very respectable 3rd against very strong teams from Livingston and Haddington.
Provisional Results. If you spot any mistakes, please let us know!
Big thank you to the parents who helped with events on the day – Grant, Rich and Dave; Liz and Ross for assisting our U11 relay teams; Officials (Ruth, Linden, Susan and John).
The final FVL competition is back at Grangemouth on August 27th but if you can’t wait until then for your next competition, then sign-up for the CSSAL League at Kilmarnock on 23rd July.
