Youth Development League – Match 2, Grangemouth,30 May 2015

Sunny but windy conditions met our athletes as they participated in Match 2 of the Youth Development League. After struggling to field enough numbers for a team in Match 1, team manager was able to field a significantly stronger pool of athletes.

There are still gaps particularly in the hurdle events so anyone who fancies having a go please LET A COACH KNOW  !!

That said a huge improvement from our first YDL.  3 rd place this time and only 4 points of a second place

1 Ayr Seaforth AC 635.5 8
2 Clydesdale Harriers 449.5 7
3 Lasswade AC 446 6
4 Falkirk Victoria Harriers 427 5
5 Shettleston Harriers 396.5 4
6 East Dunbartonshire 366.5 3
7 VP-Glasgow AC 365 2
8 Team DG 283 1

Well done to all athletes, Team Manager Linda Smith and all her helpers.

Also a big thank you again to officials for making things happen and run so smoothly and to time.

The East District Championships took place over the Friday and Saturday 22&23 May 2015. Lasswade had good representation across most track and field events. Represented in no fewer than 29 Events Athletes medalled in 18 of them. Personal Bests are way too many to mention however there were 8 Gold Medals, 8 Silver Medals and 2 Bronze Medals.  Not a bad haul I am sure you will agree !!!

 

Congratulations to all athletes striving to constantly improve, to Coaches and Parents for seeing the fruits of their labour and finally to all officials particularly those from the Club who have made this a particularly successful event.

Included a breakdown of all  Lasswade performances having trawled all 39 pages of results. I have hopefully captured all of you but would ask you let me know if I have missed someone out.   East district results . docx

CSSAL 17 May 2015 . Message from Team Manager, David Hand

Central & South of Scotland League Match
Congratulations and a big well done to all those athletes who represented Lasswade A.C. so well at the above match last Sunday, 17th May at East Kilbride.

The weather may have seemed dismal but the team spirit was high and the athletes all rose to the occasion. Thirty-eight of you competed and EVERYONE OF YOU scored invaluable points. ( At the moment we seem to have finished third to Falkirk and Shettleston but this has still to be confirmed.)

Their were lots of fine performances and personal bests but we needed every single point to get the result Although we would generally not single out athletes perhaps a mention of two who personified the spirit of ‘lets get out and score points and be successful’ were club development officer Brian Hood who came out of track retirement to cover the ‘masters events’ and our Danish athlete Sam Talebi who was thrown into his first track/field meeting to cover senior men’s events. Both these athletes handled the challenge whole heartedly and were an inspiration to their colleagues of all ages in the team. The second meeting of this league is on Sunday 28th June at Grangemouth (thank goodness for a stadium under cover) and we look forward to seeing most of you there — and an equally good (or even better) team performance. (See individual performances of ALL athletes posted earlier today)

Lastly a special vote of thanks to all our officials ( they score an additional 100 points for running the meeting and getting cold and wet ) and your age group managers who kept us all right. Thanks for all your efforts,

David Hand. (See you next time.)
