ON SATURDAY the first ever Orion Ladies Athletics Team made its debut in the Southern Womens League at St Mary's College in Twickenham.

Depleted by marathon commitments, only five made up the team (all previous Orion Juniors) Jo Hadaway, Lauren Richardson, Natalie Kipps, Rebecca Kipps and Jessica Kipps, all willing to compete in a variety of events to gain team points, which made it a great team effort and successful day.

Some PB's were also attained by Jo and Lauren in the Javelin and Jess Kipps in the long jump. Next meeting is on 30 May at Bracknall when its hoped a bigger team will be fielded.
