Scarborough fielded a strong team of 11 men and 8 women for the 4th and final league fixture in the North of England League Division 3 at Hintington Stadium York which is their home track. The team achieved a total of 22 wins, of which 13 were ‘A’ events, but after a very competitive match with Skyrac who were making a late bid for promotion. Skyrac fielded their strongest team of the season and won the match by a very narrow margin, when they scored 439 points to Scarborough’s 435 to gain promotion as the runners up in the league behind Scarborough..

Oscar Guallar was the 2nd highest men’s scorer which he achieved mainly by competing in two of the most testing endurance events. He was the winner of the ‘B’ 5,000 metres in a personal best time, not long after achieving two more personal bests when finishing 3rd in the ‘A’ 3,000 metres Chase and a 5th in the 400 metres. He increased his points tally with a 4th in the ‘A’ 400 metres Hurdles and also ran a leg of the 400 metres relay. Oscar has made a significant contribution towards the team’s success during his year long stay in the Borough.

Several of the women in the team achieved a mixture of wins in both ‘A’ and ‘B’ events and most notably Louise Brown, who has had a most successful season for the club during her year long stay back in the Borough. At her final meeting before returning to her home in Barcelona in October, Louise won the ‘A’ 1500 metres and was the runner in the ‘A’ 3,000 metres, even though hampered by a back problem which she sustained at the United Kingdom World Mountain Running trial race the previous day. She went on to win the ‘B’ 800 metres and run a leg of the 400 metres relay.
