BASINGSTOKE and Mid Hants sit fourth in the Southern League Division One table after finishing second in their fifth meeting of the season at Milton Keynes.

The home side came out on top but Basingstoke put in a solid display to claim second place. None of their female athletes were able to claim event wins but the men were much more successful, picking up 10 victories.

Sam Sleap won two events, the pole vault and the B long jump, with the Down Grange club recording a winning double in both. Stuart Parker claimed first place in the long jump, while Isaac Cox was the B pole vault winner.

The other A-string winners were: Luca Chiossone (800m), Richard Fernando (1,500m), Ben Hazell (discus) and the 4x400m relay team, while Joe Flitcroft (110m hurdles) and Jonty Davison (high jump) were B-string winners.
