The fields are prepared, the track is marked, the long jump pit is ready, shade is available and we are ready for South’s first meet of the 2026-27 season TOMORROW - 8.30am on Saturday, 5 September! πŸŽ‰

We look forward to welcoming all returning and new athletes - we hope you all have lots of fun! :-)
