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.)

FVL on Facebook have published the overall results from Match 2 . It goes to show what can be done when the club manage to fill all the berths in all the events. Well done and lets see if we can do it in the final match at the end of June at Grangemouth.

Please find the performances from several Lasswade athletes taking part as part of Team Ediunburgh at the UK YDL in Manchester o n Saturday 16 may 2015. Congrats to all

Lasswade AC Athletes performances for Team Edinburgh

Please find the performances from a really wet and windy East Kilbride. Considering conditions a good effort all round. Thanks to team manager, coaches and club officials for making it happen. As highlighted through facebook there were some gaps particularly in the Seniors (Women)  and Masters (men and Women)  so don’t be shy. Step forward and give your club your best.
