It was a busy weekend for our athletes over the weekend of 6 and 7 June. Our mens British Athletics League team made a good start to the Premier League season on their return. The Northern League team had a good result at Doncaster in their division 2EC match, and the young athletes were in action at Rotherham.

Two club athletes recently set new PBs to head the mens rankings this year, Matt Lambley (U23) set a new pb in the hammer of 67.61m at Derby on 5th April then followed up with a champioship best performance of 67.42m at the Yorkshire Championships. Lee Emanuel lowered his pb in the 1500 metres to 3.37.25 at Stanford University on 2nd may to also head the British rankings for 1500m

Also, Tesni Ward won the Outstanding Athlete of 2009 for setting a new champioship best performance of 40.73m in the discus
 

Jessica Ennis made a stunning superb comeback to heptathlon competition by winning the Multistars IAAF Combined Events Challenge in Desenzano del Garda, Italy, with a personal best of 6,587.
It puts her third on the all-time British list behind 2000 Olympic champion Denise Lewis and Judy Simpson.

It was the first match of the season for our young athletes on Sunday in the Northern Premier Division. The team finished in first place against teams from Macclesfield, Kingston Uopn Hull and Liverpool P&S.

It was a solid start to the season for our promoted senior team on Saturday at Derby with a third place finish.
