21 August 2010 - A fantastic end to the BAL season with our best result at home! TVH have made the BAL 10 in 100 final for the first time in the 4 years of the competition. 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.

24 July 2010 - BAL 10 in 100 Winners, Luton. A fantastic team performance resulted in a narrow victory in the Cup semi final. This means we are in the final at Copthall on Saturday September 4th. Keep the date your diary!

General - Annie Tagoe won the silver medal in the 100m at the European Youth Olympic Trials at Moscow despite running the final with a troublesome knee. Phyllis Agbo opened her season at the Loughborough International Games by long jumping 6.22m for England and placing 2nd. At the same meeting Angelita Broadbelt Blake won the Invitation 100m hurdles in a PB and Club Record of 13.29 secs. This would appear to put her 3rd in the UK rankings behind Jessica Ennis and Louise Hazel.
