Oxford City, with a squad of both experienced and novice athletes, took third place overall in their Southern Electric Wessex Young Athletes League meeting at Bournemouth.

The age group performance of the day arguably came from City's under 17 women, represented by just two competitors, Sarah Newport and Gemma Avil.

Finishing third overall, Gemma was chosen as the field athlete of the match for her English Schools qualifying discus throw.

Sarah won both B string high jump and discus with season's best performances in both. Their under 13 girls came second with some outstanding performances. First-time competitor Silvia Weindling won her long jump and came second in the hurdles. Rachael Riach won her high jump and was second in the long jump.

The under 15 girls' performance was exemplified by Hannah England's storming run in the 800m, which won her the track athlete--of-the-match award.

The under 13 boys finished second, with Mark Rumble winning all three A string throws.

In the under 17 men's age group, Adrian Gibson, threw 21.30m in the javelin, despite having undergone recent surgery on his throwing arm.

**Match result: 1 Bournemouth 540T pts, 2 Team Solent 401, 3 Oxford City 395T, 4 Stubbington 200, 5 Jersey 173, 6 Exel Gosford.
