| The second round of the North of England men's League took place last weekend with Teesside's top three clubs all competing at Clairville Stadium. Following the same pattern as in the first match Middlesbrough and Cleveland Harriers continued in the same form dominating their match with a great team performance in division 3, with New Marske Harriers in third place. Local rivals Middlesbrough AC struggled in their match on Division 2 and despite some encouraging individual performances finished in last place. Middlesbrough and Cleveland Harriers men's team performer of the day was again highlighted by thrower David Dowson in the field events and Greg Jayasuriya in the track events for the men's side. North East shot put champion Dowson was the clubs heaviest points scorer with four individual wins in the throwing events/Dowson claimed the hammer, shot and discus a string events and the b string javelin his best performance coming in the discus throwing a personal best of 42.02 metres. Jayasuriya was again under 2 minutes in winning the 800 metres winning in 1 minute 59.80 seconds before placing second in the 1500 metres in 4 minutes 05.2 seconds. Vince Mullan took first place in the 100 metres in 12.1 seconds and second over 200 metres in 23.8 seconds. Steve Smith was a clear winner in the B string 800 metres and Chris Rumsey was another double winner for the team taking the 3000 metre steeplechase and b string 1500 metres. Steve Birse made a welcome return to competition winning the javelin with a distance of 45.21 metres and the b string shot putt. Veteran Paul Young had two wins in the b string hammer and discus. In the women's match top points scorer for the club was Hayley Richardson who completed a gruelling seven events with her highlight being second places in the 100 metres, sprint hurdles and 400 metre hurdles. Wins for the team came from Bethany Eaglesham in the b 100 metres and 800 metres. Over 3000 metres the club had a double win in the shape of Tracey Waller and Carolyn Ollis. Kaitlyn Enderwick and Jenny Eaglesham scored heavily in the throws with Enderwick winning the shot and discus events and Eaglesham taking the b string hammer, shot putt and discus. New Marske Harriers who are also in division three performed well to finish in third place in this match. New Marske's top performer was Jess Simon in the women's triple jump the 16 year old winning the competition with a personal best of 9.80 metres. Jess Rogers competed well to won the women's hammer. The men's team performance was highlighted by a good performance by Danny McBride in the long jump winning the competition with a personal best of 5.81 metres. Josh Baines and Johnny Whitehead took maximum points for the sea siders winning the a & b string pole vault events. Adam Walker won the 110 metre hurdles and Alfie Else ran well to win the b string 100 metres and 400 metres. The results in this match put Middlesbrough and Cleveland Harriers in an almost unassailable position in division three and a solid performance in the last two matches will ensure the club promotion in the 2014 season where they could be joined by neighbours New Marske Harriers who are in joint second position in the league. In Division 2 Middlesbrough AC (Mandale) again struggled to put out a full team and finished in last place in their division. They are now firmly rooted to the bottom of the table and barring a minor miracle will be spending the 2014 season in division 3.

In the form of his life Longstaff won the triple jump with a distance of 12.86 metres, an improvement on his previous best by over 50 centimetres, prior to that he had also set a personal best in the long jump soaring out to 6.02 metres. Charlie Myers was a double winner equalling his best in the pole vault clearing 4.40 metres before adding to his repertoire with a personal best and win in the b triple jump clearing 11.34 metres. Adam Mitchell took 6 seconds from his 5000 metres lifetime best to place second in 15 minutes 50 seconds. Abdul Wahab and Matthew Bailey were young athletes in the best shape of their lives with Wahab placing second in the 400 metres in 52.7 seconds and Bailey third in the 800 metres in 1 minute 57.0 seconds. Scott Henderson made a welcome return to competition placing second in the 400 hurdles in 63.3 seconds.
