Sprinter Kim Baptiste once again ran a fast time in the 100m, 11.51, although it was wind-assisted (+2.5 m/s) and doesn’t count as a club record.

Crawley AC’s under-13/under-15 team finished their season in the YDL season with a win.

The team had several victories and strong performances and, unlike the previous two fixtures, this time the club weren’t denied points by a cancelled pole vault.

The victory should have secured Crawley the Southern West 1 League title and they go into a paper match for promotion back into the Premier 2 Division.
