City of Sheffield 596 points
City of York 552 points
Chesterfield 512 points

Our club got off to a solid start to this season's Northern Athletics League Division 2EC campaign. Despite having a depleted ladies team, the team overall finished the match in a respectable third place just behind Rotherham and Lincoln.
