Ebbisham League @ Kinsgmeadow 5/8/07

By Matthew Kiernan

Croydon Harriers junior team missed out on the Ebbisham League title after finishing second best to a strong Herne Hill Harriers outfit on Sunday.

Croydon went into the title decider at Kingsmeadow in a strong position, narrowly ahead on points difference.

A series of injuries though, meant the Harriers had to settle for the runners up spot behind their south London rivals.

The plucky juniors still put up a good fight, notching a credible 12 victories on a blisteringly hot afternoon.

Amongst the winners, was U13 Faraz Rafi who won the 80m hurdles (14.6s), Discus (30.15m), High Jump (1.45m) and helped the 4x200m relay team to victory in 50.4s.

Another member of the relay team was U13 Matthew Sunday who impressed in his 200m win, clocking 26.0s.

London Mini-Marathon winner Elliot Veheary did well to equal his 1500m Personal best of 4.52.9, in less than ideal conditions.

Meanwhile U15 captain Scott Fanner bowed out of the junior ranks in style finishing 2^nd in the 1500m (4:54.0) against a tough field, before helping the U15 relay team to 2^nd place in 47.6s.
