Hereford and County Athletic Club took part in the South East Wales League meeting held at Aberdare.

With a last-minute change of date, the club still managed to field a team of 28 athletes. Competing for the first time were under-11 girls Gemma Stansbury and Kayleigh Price; under-11 boys Jamie Baldwin, Daniel King and Dalton Thomas; under-13 girls Gemma Smillie, Kimber-ley Price and Simone Quinn; under-13 boys Ewan Short and Byron Giles; and under-15 girls Gemma King, Bicki Thorpe and Amy Ellis.

In wet and windy conditions many of the athletes set new personal best times and distances. But the performance of the meeting went to under-11 Ryan Nicholas who beat his previous league record of 3.58m in the long jump to set a new standard of 3.80m which also earned Grade 1.

The second meeting will take place at the Hereford Leisure Centre on Saturday, June 29.
