Hayley Fox scored maximum points with a 2.30m clearance in the pole vault and was also 3rd in the B discus with 16.85m. A club record of 20.5s in the V35 category gave Sharon Waller a win in the B 100m hurdles and she followed this with another win in the B hammer with 19.58m, 3rd position in the B 100m in 15.3 and 4th in the B long jump with 4.02m.
