SCOTT Overall has been selected to represent Great Britain in the 3,000m at the World Indoor Championships in Doha next month.

His selection comes after a fine run in the UKA Aviva Indoor Grand Prix at Birmingham.

Racing in the 3000 metres against World class opposition, which included both the World and Olympic 3000 steeplechase champions, the Blackheath & Bromley athlete finished in 6th place in a time of 7.50.66, the second time he has run inside the qualifying mark for the Worlds.

He was not the only club member on international duty last weekend as Jermaine Olasan produced a terrific series of jump at the Celtic Indoor Games.

Competing for England he started the under 20s long jump with a leap of 6.85.

He improved with every round, breaking his personal best four times to win with 7.18.

For good measure Lorraine Ugen won the under 20 womens long jump with 6.02 with new second claim member Sarah Abrams, who has joined the club to compete in the Junior League, taking the runner up spot with a leap of 5.68.

Sarah, who was representing Wales, also finished second in the triple jump with a leap of 11.67.

Irish international Pamela Hughes won the Senior Womens high jump with a leap of 1.74.

Andy Rayner warmed up for this weekends National Cross Country Championships by finishing second in the final, rearranged, Kent League match at Swanley.

He timed 30.46 while under 20 Alex Bruce Littlewood was 4th.

Alex’s position meant that he finished in 2nd place overall for the season.

The Club suffered a heavy defeat in the annual Mob Match with Ranelagh which took place at Richmond Park.

Scoring 32 a side the Club picked up 1634 points compared to the hosts 692.

With just two runners in the top 20, the first home for the Club was Roy Smith who runs with a metal hip.

He was third overall with Andy Tucker 17th and Steve Pairman 21st. Jennie Butler was the first woman home, 23rd overall, followed by Sarah Dowling in 34th and Fran Green in 36th.

Sadly, with just one of the Club's runners under the age of 35, it looks as if the Club could struggle in these traditional fixtures for some time to come.

The race incorporated the latest of the Bennett Cup Handicap races which take place throughout the Winter months.

First on this occasion was Peter Rogers with Adrian Stocks second and Justine Eastbury third.

After seven of the nine races, John Leeson still leads with 329 points but the gap to the chasing pack has been closed somewhat.

Anne Cilia has moved in to second with 297 points with Rob Brown third on 295 points.

With 60 points available for first place, there is still everything to play for with two matches to go.

At the Surrey County Championships at Lloyd Park, Will Mercer had probably his best run of the Winter having been hampered by illness and injury.

He finished 11th in the under 17 men's race and is in the lower year of the age group.

On the road Alex Gibbins finished in eighth place in the Sussex Beacon Half Marathon. In difficult conditions he timed 73.53.

Back indoors, athletes have been in action all over the country at indoor meetings.

Up in Manchester, Leeds University student Richard Davies ran a very useful 50.55 for 400 metres.

At Sheffield, Amy Godsell ran a seasons best of 7.72 for the 60 metres at the RAF and Inter Universities Championships.

At Birmingham, over 55 Master Allan Williams cleared 3.50 in the pole vault, while Hannah Biddis ran 8.48 and 27.60 for 60 and 200 metres.

In Bath, Dominic Parsons made a rare track appearance running 7.24 for 60 metres.
