DESPITE downpours and the loss of four girls to the English Schools' Championships, Southampton City still took a respectable fourth place of seven in the Wessex Young Athletes' League at Poole.

In the under-11 girls' age-group, Laura Pelligrini showed she is a real prospect by pulling off a 75m/600m double.

Louise Webb took a rest from her usual middle distance events after her long trip back from the English Schools in Gateshead, but still managed to win the under-15 hurdles and B discus.

There were other under-15 wins for Amy Matthews (100m) and Lizzie Dunn (javelin), while Dunn also placed third on her high jump debut.

Charlotte Benning won the under-17 women's 800m and there were second places for the under-17 men's trio of Dean Wilson (100m/long jump), Mark Colmer (200m) and Jack Brenton (discus).

Kellie Porter nailed three second places for the under-13 girls and there were promising club debuts from Rachel Lee and Jessica Higginbottom.

MATCH RESULT: Poole AC 532, Jersey 409, Team Kennet 407, Southampton City 365, Salisbury 250, Weymouth 168, Stubbington Green 81.
