Radley's Chris Franks broke his own club record in the hammer to help his team to second place in their final Division 3 West meeting of the season at Tilsley Park.

Club captain Franks launched the hammer 39.59m to win the A string event as Radley finished the meeting in second place behind newly-crowned champions Aldershot, Farnham & District.

Franks followed up his record-breaking efforts with another victory in the B string shot (10.58m), while he also finished second in the B string discus (32.28m).

Connor Sugden was another Radley athlete to break a club record as he won the A string long jump with a leap of 6.10m - smashing the previous record for under 17s by almost a metre.

Ben Owen finished off the season with another sprint double, clocking 10.7secs in the 100m and 22.2 in the 200m.

He also recorded a B string victory in the long jump, was third in the A string pole vault, and formed part of the winning 4x100m relay team.

Radley had to settle for second behind Aldershot as they wrapped up fifth place in the division.

Result: 1 Aldershot, Farnham & District 151pts, 2 Radley 116, 3 Team Kennet 112, 4 Plymouth 109.

  • Abingdon Amblers ended a largely disappointing season on a positive note by finishing second in their final match, also held at Tilsley Park.

Languishing in last place early in the meeting, Abingdon turned the corner by taking maximum points in the 1,500m and 3,000m steeplechase.

Second place was only secured in the final event, when the 4x400m relay team did just enough to hold off Chichester.

Result: 1 Newquay & Par, 2 Abingdon, 3 Chichester, 4 Andover.
