NORTHERN VETERANS TRACK & FIELD LEAGUE RESULTS
HELD AT CLECKHEATON ON WEDNESDAY 16th APRIL 2008

The first fixture of the 2008 Northern Veterans Track & Field League was held on a blustery and cool evening with a good quality of competition although numbers were slightly down on last year. Fortunately the heavy rain on Saddleworth Moor stuck to the heights!
Many thanks go to Spenborough AC for the warm welcome and the excellent facilities and refreshments. This all goes to a good evening meeting!
The next Track & Field meeting is at Leverhulme Park in Bolton on Wednesday 21st May.
