The TVH Track Man of the Match was awarded to Lumar Sylvester for his lifetime best of 21.74 in the B 200m. Myles Edwards was awarded the Clubman of the Match for his fine 800m/1500m double and was close to his best performance with 1:56.76 in the 800m. Nav Childs also made a welcome return to form jumping 14.06m in the Triple Jump, following a season blighted by a heel injury, and only lost out on winning the event in the final round. This fine performance earned Nav the Field Man of the Match award.
