Midland League First Meeting

Shrewsbury athletes produced excellent performances at Mansfield in the first meeting finishing the event in second place.
Shrewsbury Men won with the women second behind Kidderminster & Stourport. We had probably the most talented team there winning many of the events including 1st A and B strings. Unfortunately the lack of distance runners meant we couldn’t challenge K&S for 1st place.
Well done to all who competed and thanks to Peter, Doreen, Rob, Vanessa and Judith for their help.
