Well done to all the athletes competing last Saturday in the first round of Forth Valley League! Results should hopefully be available later in the week.

Thanks also to all the club volunteers who helped at the match, including team managers Alison Grey, Marion Fairley and Julia Morris, and Sandra Hardacre, Pat Hockley, Ian Tatton, Frances Tatton, Matt Spence and Jennifer Dick for officiating.

The second round of the Forth Valley League takes place at Grangemouth Stadium on Saturday 17th May.

The club compete in Division 1 which is the afternoon match at the second round between 1.15 PM and 4.15 PM.

All U11, U13 & U15 members (born between 01/09/1999 and 17/05/2005) are eligible to compete.

Please use the availability form to let to let us know if you're available or not for this match. For league matches, availability forms should always be submitted, even if you are not available!

The last date to confirm availability is midnight on Sunday 11th May.

Selection

The teams are selected jointly by a group of volunteers and will be announced on the Wednesday before the competition.

As this is a half-day team competition with only 2 places per event per club, athletes will usually only be doing 1 or 2 events, and may not be doing their favourite event!

At league matches, the emphasis is on participation and competing as a part of a team, with all selected club members expected to take part.

The points scoring system means that it's important that we have competitors in all events at a match. Athletes that do an event for the first time "to get a point" are just as important a part of the team as the athletes that win events.

Also, there are one or two age groups where we have a large number of athletes which means, because this is a half-day match with a limited number of places per team, we may not be able to accommodate absolutely everyone who wants to compete.
