The first of two vets only open meetings to make up for the Covid-induced loss of the annual six Kent Vets League matches, saw seven club members compete in a total of 11 events at a windy Tonbridge track.


Wole Odele was first on the track, winning the 100m race and 2nd in the 200m with strong headwinds in both.
