A junior squad from Eastbourne Rovers Athletics Club made an impressive start to the track and field season at a notably chilly Sussex Under-13 league meeting at Withdean, Brighton.

A strong team of scoring U13 athletes placed a credible third behind Brighton & Hove and HY Athletics Clubs, and were joined by a number of U11 track and field newcomers who competed in non-scoring events to gain experience.

On the track, sprinter Zachary Soan kicked off the season in fine form winning the Boys 150m A race and taking 2nd place in the 75m (A). Jack Cullen placed first in the Boys 150m (B) in an impressive time of 22.3s, with Harley Hoad displaying promise for the 75m distance (B, 11.6s).
