The third and final match of the Scottish National Athletics League takes place on Sunday 5 July in Aberdeen. As has been explained before, these events provide quality Track and Field competition for Under 18, Under 20, Senior and Masters Athletes. I am keen to get a good turnout of Central’s athletes for this final match of the season.

The format for the League 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 2026 for these age groups.

The intended Timetable for 5 July is attached – this meeting allows for Track competition for 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 100m/110m Hurdles, 2000m Steeplechase for Men, and Field competition for Long Jump, Triple Jump, High Jump, Pole Vault, Shot Put, Discus and Javelin. 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 2025 (or later) personal bests and Scottish Athletics membership numbers must be submitted by Friday 26 June. 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 5 July please contact Kenny Pearson by Wednesday 24 June at the latest (kennethwgpearson@googlemail.com), with details of preferred event, personal best (2025 or 2026) 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.

All the best
Kenny
