It is with regret that we have had to cancel the Discus and Hammer events at our Open Meeting on the 24th March due to the expected repairs to the throwing cage not being completed on time. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by this decision, the circumstances of which are beyond our control.
The following Radley athletes have been selected for the Oxfordshire County Indoor Sportshall team to compete at Burgess Hill on Sunday 3rd March.
Many congratulations and good luck to you all.
In addition, the following have been selected to represent Oxfordshire in the County Cross Country team at Prestwold Hall, Loughborough on Saturday 9th March.
Many thanks and well done to all the athletes who competed last Sunday in the 4th indoor sports hall competition at the new venue in Wantage.
Particular congratulations go to the U11 girls who came 3rd overall on the day, and a special mention for U11 Heath Stillion who came joint 1st and rounded off his day by achieving a new hall record in the 1 lap.
The 5th and final indoor sports hall competition for this season is Sunday 10th March at Bicester Sports Centre. Emails re availability will be sent out nearer the time.
The 2018 Radley awards night ceremony provided a short break from winter training and the cross country season as the club came together to celebrate attitude and achievement throughout the past athletics season.
Radley enjoyed a fantastic turnout for the 2019 Oxfordshire Cross-Country Championships in early January which as usual were combined with the third race in the Oxon XC League series. Horspath was accommodatingly muddy, but the rain held off as the Radley tent and flag were amongst the first to go up, a good omen for the day's races. In the Boys events, purple vests dominated the podium places with a healthy cohort of participants throughout the finishing order.
Thank you to all those athletes and parents who attended the third round Sportshall competition last Sunday in Witney.
It was a great afternoon of competition and it was really nice to see so many U15s and U13s taking part. Everyone put 100% into their events and the results prove it.
Congratulations to all athletes but especially the U11 girls team who came first in the obstacle race and in their 4 x 1 lap relay - with text book change overs. Well done.
The next sportshall competition is on Sunday 10th February in Wantage.
