Windsor Slough Eton & Hounslow Athletic Club

The WSEH team for the Alder Valley Boys League at Woking suffered loss of athletes to the Southern Championships plus the National Junior League match at Hendon plus absentees caused by the Bank Holiday. It was thus perhaps not surprising that the local club found themselves back in 4th place.
