Channel Island men’s athletics team have won promotion

The final Division Four meet was held in Guernsey and the Islands beat the league leaders to secure second place.

The CI team won the 4x100m relay and came third in the 4x400m relay

Coach Andrew Winnie said: “They did what they had to. They pulled out all the stops.”

“We had a fair idea we’d get promoted but to actually win the last match is a nice feeling for next year.”

He added: “We’ve got to get better every year and the young athletes coming through are starting to say, well I got a personal best today, but I didn’t win so I’ve got to get a little bit better.”

Events were divided into an A and a B pool.

Dale Garland took the 400m hurdles A title, while Peter Irving took the B. Glenn Etherington and Leo Rice did the same in the 110m hurdles.

David Martin’s jump of 6.82m secured the long jump A title while Ross Jeffs took the B group with 6.58m.

Zane Duquemin took the A finals of the discus and shot put, with James Brehaut winning the A javelin event.

Nathan Stevens won the 400m B and Steve Dawes won the 3,000m Steeplechase B.

The Channel Islands team’s last victory of the day came in the 4x100m relay as Glenn Etherington, Tom Druce, Nathan Stevens and David Martin finished in 42.35 seconds.
