The senior women and U15 girls teams had their first match of the season on Sunday 7^th April when eight Clubs contested the Alpha trophy at Lee Valley athletics Centre.

Both seniors & U15s had complete teams covering all events in both A & B strings which is an excellent start to the year for the club.

All the athletes worked well together to cover the events where athletes had to pull out at short notice due to injury which gained the club valuable points in the competition.

Individuals in the senior section had some good early season results with wins for Eloise Meakins (U23) in the Javelin A string and Laura Armorgie (U17) and Gemma Armorgie (U20) in the high jump A & B Strings. Daizy Lee (U17) secured 2^nd place in the 200m A race and newcomer to the club Eleanor Moss (U17) gained third place in the B string Javelin. The senior relay team of Natalie Allen, Ellie Bandy, Gemma Armorgie & Daizy Lee also claimed 3^rd place. The seniors finished the day in 4^th just 8 points behind the club in 2^nd place.

The full team was : Georgia Willan, Eloise Meakins, Megan Breen, Ella Lloyd, Natalie Allen, Ellie Bandy, Laura Gallagher, Gemma Armorgie, Laura Armorgie, Florence Stansell-Seiller, Lizzie Parry, Daizy Lee, Tilly Anderson, Emma Phillipson and Eleanor Moss.

The Under 15 Girls represented us well throughout with solid performances. Despite strong competition from the other teams, we achieved very creditable 3^rd places in Long Jump, 800m & 1500m events, and attained a final day placing of 6^th place, a mere 13 points behind the club in 2^nd place. Special thanks to all those athletes who stepped out of their comfort zones and valiantly competed in Shot, Javelin & 1500m events to help us get extra points. The full team was: Megan Fielding, Pippa Beauchamp, Louise Reilly,Georgia McKenzie, Alice Semark, Hannah Booth, Zoe Benton, Erin Breen, Lily Jones & Imogen Walker. Well done girls.

The runaway winners of the overall Trophy competition were Blackheath and Bromley, and the Herts Phoenix combined teams achieved an overall 5^th place, successfully retaining our position in the Alpha Trophy competition.

We are greatly saddened to hear of the passing of Jean Pickering.  In addition to the many activities for which she was better known, Jean was the President of Herts Phoenix from 2005 to 2011.  Not satisfied with being a figurehead, Jean took an active interest in the Club’s activities and was always pleased to hear about our successes and, in particular about the development of our young athletes.

We will all miss her.
