TEAM SOUTHAMPTON welcomed in the new track and field season with a promising set of performances in the Wessex Young Athletes' League fixture at rain-swept Poole.

They finished top of the seven competing teams, boding well for their first summer together since the merger of the Team Solent and Southampton City clubs.

Eve Selby produced one of the day's highlights, winning the under-15 girls' javelin and 100m.

For the boys, Chris Dennis and Luca Mucci pulled off an A/B under-15 1500m double and Dennis had the added bonus of winning the 400m.

Next up for the club are the Southern Women's League fixture at Southampton Sports Centre this Saturday and the National Young Athletes' League on May 8.
