National Scottish Joint League – 28 May

May 13, 2023

Some 20 plus clubs contest the National Scottish Joint League which was established in 2022 to replace the Scottish Men’s League, Scottish Women’s League and Upper YDL (Under-17 and Under-20). We carried a story on this year’s league in early April.

The format this year will include league and 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 league competition in 2023 for these age groups.

As a club we had a good turnout at the first match with some excellent performances and personal bests – it would be great to keep that momentum going.

The remaining dates and venues are as follows:-

  • 28 May – Aberdeen
  • 18 June – Grangemouth
  • 30 July – Grangemouth

The intended timetable for 28 May is below – this meeting allows for track competition for 200 Metres, 300 Metres, 400 Metres, 1,500 Metres, 3,000 Metres, 300 and 400 Metre Hurdles, Steeplechase plus 4×400 Metre Relays and field competition for Long Jump, Triple Jump, High Jump, Pole Vault, Shot, Javelin 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 2021 (or later) personal bests and Scottish Athletics membership numbers must be submitted by Friday 19 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 costs.

Should you be interested in being considered for competition on 28 May, including the 4×400 Metre Relay teams, please contact John McDonald by Wednesday 17 May at the latest (mcdonald@johnglenallan.plus.com), with details of preferred event and with any offers of assistance. If you can offer lifts to others please advise, also if you require a lift to Aberdeen please advise.
