North of England Track & Field league: Match 4
The Harrier's team went into the final match of the 2018 season at Herringthorpe stadium, needing to win to clinch a place in the promotion play off Match. The position after the first 3 matches was Rotherham 3rd, one point behind Kingston-Upon-Hull and two points behind leaders Derby AC.
The club were hopeful that the home fixture would prove favourable, and would enable this team to match the successes of the two young athlete teams, with a league win.
The Harrier's athletes performed extremely well, but were unable to beat a very strong Derby AC team.
The match result and points were:-
1 Derby AC 402
2 Rotherham 377
3 Hallamshire 369
4 Kingston-u-Hull 338
5 Chesterfield 306.5
6 Lincoln 258.5
The final league positions and points were:-
1 Derby 22
2 Rotherham 19
3 Kingston-u-Hull 18
4 Hallamshire 10
5 Chesterfield 8
6 Lincoln 7
