Croydon Harriers' young athletes were tasting success again on Saturday as the club held a party to celebrate the youngsters' best-ever season in the McDonald's League and other competitions.
The young Harriers have never been strangers to success and, after a season of spectacular results that earned them a place among the UK's top five clubs, they celebrated in style with a prize-giving party at the Whitgift Centre's McDonald's restaurant.
Club members, parents and supporters were all at the restaurant to hear club president, Don Webb congratulate the juniors and bid goodbye and good luck to retiring Under17's captain Leroy Slue and Under 15's captain Andrew Jenner.
"It has been our best season ever," said the Harriers' club secretary, Mike Fleet. "We were runners up in the Southern Premier and we've achieved a record number of club points at the cup final in Birmingham. Our members have worked so hard and I think they really deserved this celebration."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
