Hillingdon AC’s Senior team made an excellent start to the track and field season with a win in the Southern Athletics League Division Three North at their home fixture at Uxbridge that should give them the platform to achieve their aim of promotion.
Hillingdon AC dominated the fixture, winning with a points tally of 280 with Serpentine in second place with 222 points, Vale of Aylesbury third (216) and Loughton fourth (147) while there were multiple individual wins with both the men and women contributing big points to the team score.
