Windsor Slough Eton & Hounslow Athletic Club

Windsor, Slough, Eton & Hounslow Athletic Club young athletes travelled to Hillingdon Athletics Stadium in Uxbridge to contest the Trophy Final against local rivals Guildford & Godalming, Reading and hosts Hillingdon. As this match is the last track & field event of the season, there were high hopes of repeating last year’s final win. Alas, this was not to be, with the local club running in third, behind Reading in second and Guildford & Godalming the Trophy Winners
