It was a miserable day all round for Winchester & District in the Southern Men's League Division 1 at Woking. Not only it pour with rain for most of the afternoon, but the trackless club produced their poorest display since 1999 to wind up a below-par fourth.

Few athletes performed to their best and, with three sprinters still missing from last season, it left the remainder of the team working overtime to fill the events.

Distance man Paul Ashley nobly turned his hand to the B 400 metres hurdles, but was violently sick afterwards due to a stomach bug.

Mike Gregory stepped up to the 5000m and he and Ian Hardcastle managed double second in one of Winchester's most profitable track events of the day.

Young Duncan Blyth ran an excellent second in the 800m B race and Chas McCraw did likewise in the A-string 400m.

The outstanding Winches-ter field performance came in the discus as Mike March-ant and Peter Loots teamed up for maximum points.

Chris Mills was as dominant as ever with a four-metre pole vault clearance, ably supported by Ryan Cornell who was B-string runner-up.

Mike Noyce won the A 400m hurdles and Chris Hall the A 200m, but last place in the 4x100m relay and a dropped baton in the 4x400m summed up Winchester's woeful day.

The result leaves them eighth in the table, four points adrift of league leaders Medway & Maidstone.
