Scottish National Athletics League, 8 June

May 23, 2025

The track and field season is already moving along at pace.

The Scottish National Joint League provides quality track and field competition for Under 17, Under 20, Senior and Masters athletes.

The third match of the 2025 season is on Sunday 8 June in Grangemouth and I am keen to get a good turnout of Central’s athletes for the return to Grangemouth Stadium.

The format for 2025 includes league/team competition across the age groups and genders and opportunity to compete in a series of graded events. Central AC will not be involved in other track and field league competition during 2025 for these age groups.

The remaining dates and venues are as follows:-

  • Sunday 8 June – Grangemouth
  • Sunday 27 July – Grangemouth or Scotstoun – hopefully Grangemouth

The intended timetable for 8 June is in this PDF:

Timetable Match 3 2025 as at 22 May 2025Download

This match allows for:

  • track competition: 100m, 300m, 400m, 800m, 1 mile, 3000m for women, 2K steeplechase for men, Sprint Hurdles; and
  • field competition: Long Jump, High Jump, Shot Put, Discus and Hammer.

There will be sufficient qualified officials and automatic timing to ensure that performances will be shown on Power of 10 and can be used for international selection.

Central AC are required to provide helpers – three at each match and these personnel could change between morning and afternoon.

The names of athletes along with 2023 (or later) personal bests and Scottish Athletics membership numbers must be submitted by Friday 30 May. Scottish Athletics membership numbers must be up to date and will be subject to scrutiny.

There are no individual fees for competing as the competing clubs will cover these costs. Should you be interested in being considered for competition on 8 June, please contact John McDonald by Wednesday 28 May at the latest (mcdonald@johnglenallan.plus.com), with details of preferred event and with any offers of assistance.

This is a great opportunity for some quality competition and to improve your personal bests, or even try a new event. A similar email will be sent for the final match in July.
