Firstly, a big thanks to all our athletes who have competed so far this year. The performances have been excellent and have allowed the respective teams to hold strong positions in both leagues which was our goal at the start of the season. Our athletes competed at Ayr Stadium on 19th May, 2024 in the Youth Development League and in two competitions on the 9th and 16th June, both at Grangemouth. The 9th June, being CSSAL Competition for all age groups and the 16th June, once again being the Youth Development League, u13 & u15 only.
The sun came out eventually for the first event on 19th May, Youth Development League, and our athletes gave fantastic performances across the board. The performances allowed the team to hold strong positions in both leagues which was our goal at the start.
At the CSSAL Event held at Grangemouth on 9th June, The team managed to finish 4th on the day, placing us 3rd joint overall in the league at this juncture of the season, which is a fantastic result considering the gaps we had in the team for all events in the meeting.
