Wallasey Athletic Club's first match of the new track season versus Winnington Park Club from Northwich, Cheshire, will take place at Leasowe Road playing fields this Saturday afternoon, commencing 3 p.m.
A full programme of track and field events for both seniors and juniors, under 19, will be held, and friends and supporters of the club will be very welcome. The contest will provide pointers to form for the forthcoming Cheshire County Championships early next month.
Last Monday evening club members benefited from the instructive demonstration of javelin technique given by E. R. Turner, former British javelin record holder.
Last Sunday at Blackpool in a Lancashire and Cheshire League match, Wallasey beat Blackpool 'B' team by 40 lbs., but were beaten by Blackpool 'A' team by 112 lbs.
On Monday evening at 7-30 p.m. C. W. Jones, of Birkenhead School, will coach in the discus and shot put events, while on Wednesday at 7-30 p.m. Jack Pozzi will coach on long jumping.
