Two weeks ago, on Sunday 31 August, a squad of fifty-five Livingston athletes travelled to the Ayrshire Athletics Arena in Kilmarnock for the final match of the Central & South of Scotland Athletic League.

The club finished the match in second place and were third overall in Division 1 for the season - this is the club's highest ever finish in this league!!

Thank you to all the athletes, parents, coaches and officials who supported the league during the season and a big thank you to team manager Sandra for organising the team.

At the third match, well done to the twenty-two athletes who set improved personal bests and the nine athletes who set seasons bests!
