THE final South East Wales Athletics League meeting at Newport brought reward for Hereford and County AC.

The meeting incorporated the presentation of awards and Hereford collected five trophies, several of which had not been in their hands for many years.

The under-11 girls finished as they started with a maximum eight points from the meeting. They won all five meetings and took the award with 40 points. The boys in that section finished runners-up, just two points behind Newport.

The Under-13 girls were third, as were the boys - a fine achievement with only six athletes for the whole season.

The under-15 girls struggled for competitors and finished fifth, but the boys won their section for the first time since 1996 and beat nearest rivals Cwmbran by four points.

The under-17 women had only two competitors - Sarah Fletcher and Lisa Holloway - throughout and finished sixth, while the men retained their section title and were five points clear of Aberdare.

There were also combined team awards and the Here-ford under-11 boys and girls took first place for the first time since 1997. The combined 13/15/17 team were runners-up.

Individual awards for all-round achievement went to under-13s Chloe Barrett and Owen Gittoes, under-13 Anna Robertson and under-15 Adam Gittoes.
