SCOTT Overall has been fine form recently twice breaking the Blackheath & Bromley 3,000m record.

Racing in Liege in Belgium he improved his existing record to 7.53.30 when he finished ninthth in a high standard field. Last weekend he was in action again at the Aviva London Grand Prix at Crystal Palace.

Again it was a classy field and this time he smashed the 7.50 barrier finishing in 8th place in 7.48.92, just five seconds behind Britain's number one 5000 metre runner Mo Farah.

Also in action at the Palace was Montell Douglas fresh from breaking the British 100 metre record. Like Scott she was in a very tough field and although she timed 11.27, an Olympic A standard time, it was not enough to qualify for the final. She was also part of the Great Britain 4x100 team which finished 3rd in the 4x100 in 43.09.

Under 20 Shaunagh Brown finished third in a specially arranged discus competition witha throw of 47.68.

There was good news for the Club's Senior teams this week. Both the men and the women have qualified for the British League Golden Jubilee Cup Final on the 6th of September. Both teams were runners up in their semi finals but qualified for the final at Bedford as they were the strongest of the runners up from the seven semis
