A fine finish to the B team's 2010 season with second place at Battersea Park. Going into the last event, the 4x400m relay, we were half a point behind London Heathside. After it we were half a point ahead.

After a tough heat and even tougher semi final Jack Green produced a big PB in the 400 m Hurdles Final of the WORLD Junior Champs in Canada on Friday. Despite running blind all the way in lane 8 he stormed through to come home in 5th place with PB of 50.

Fifth place for the B Team at Walton-on-Thames last Saturday in a very high quality match. We had a few absentees and then things got worse with injuries to two big points scorers, Trevor Jamieson-Agard and Rawlston Morian.

Kent AC's B Team took their winning run to TWO matches at Guildford on Saturday, taking them to a point away from the promotion places with two matches to go. There were some British League standard performers on show during the afternoon, but we were the only team that maintained a good level across all of the events and ended as easy winners after pulling away from Windsor in the last few events of the afternoon.

A first win of the season for the B Team at Twickenham, which I'm told moves us up to 12th in the league table (sorry, I can't find the link anywhere). We consistently got good points throughout the afternoon, including six B-string wins.

A very satisfactory 2nd place for the B Team at Erith on Saturday. We were stronger in most events than we had been in the first match, especially in the throws, where Albert, Courtney and Rawlston showed what a difference it makes when we can fill these events.

A tough start to the season for the B Team at Hemel Hempstead on Saturday - fifth place with 79 points. Just not enough people to go round really, and our match was a much higher standard than the other Division 2 match taking place on the same track that afternoon.

Yet another good day for Kent AC over the ‘country’ this season as our younger athletes really performed well in this annual test of where they are on the London wide Schools scene. With places at stake for the top 8 in each race to represent London in the prestigious English Schools CC champs in March this is often the big race of the year for our younger distance men.

Here are the provisional Assembly League fixtures for the 2010 season. This is the 35th season in which the League has taken place. We will be visiting the familiar race venues with two visits to the fast and completely flat course at the Dome - although as building work in the area continues this course will remain under review.

The resheduled Kent County champs is coming up soon - Sat 13th Feb @ Detling showground. This is a great chance for the club to build on that 5th place in the South of England last weekend. This is an event we should be strongly contesting in the 6 to score and the 12 to score events! The likes of Medway, Tonbridge and Blackheath will be our main challengers, however, if people do not show then the team will go home empty handed!

Another total demolition of the opposition in the league --- but even more comprehensive than the others this year ! We had 9 men home in the top 10 and our last scorer, Rawlston Morian, came in 14th, with a brave run after falling, to close the 10 man team race with a record low score for the league.

We completed a Hat-trick of Team Wins, in all 3 fixtures so far this season, with a demolition of the opposition on Saturday to secure our 7th win in the South of the Thames Team Championship in the last 10 years.

Kent Athletic Club AGM Calling Notice. The Annual General Meeting for 2009 will be held at.. The Goose on the Green Public House, Catford, Rushey Green opposite the theatre. On Tuesday 1st December 2009 at 8:30 pm.

The winter is just around the corner, with the smell of cross country in the air once again! Last weekend was the first race of the season in the Surrey League (and probably the last in such glorious sunshine on a flat track - golf fairway springs to mind!) which started on a good note with us have 6 in the first 7 in this 10 to score team event, and running out clear winners on the day.

If you haven't already heard, it's bad news for the B Team following a disappointing fifth place at Tonbridge on Saturday. Once again, there were lots of good performances but the high standard of the other teams and our lack of field athletes, particularly throwers, meant that we lost out.
