Eastern Young Athletes League Meetings

The EYAL offers a series of five league matches of good quality, each involving six or seven teams.

The major clubs in the league only meet each other once during the season, so the opposition is different at each match. The clubs vary from very strong, to quite small. The majority of the clubs in the league are from Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. There are also Cup and Plate finals in September.

The league is specifically for all Club athletes who are aged between 11 and 17 on 31st August of the competition year. Athletes compete in their own age group (U12, U14 or U16, U18), with the scores for all age-groups totaled to give the overall match result.

In this league, we our team is composed only of Braintree & District AC  Athletes.
