The senior men's team performed strongly in the National 12-stage Road Relay Championships in Sutton Park, Birmingham –  athletes run alternate long legs (5.3 miles) and short legs (3.1 miles) – finishing 23rd of the 63 teams, and the first Surrey team to close in.

Dwayne Cowan came agonisingly close to qualifying for the final of the 400 metres at the Commonwealth Games, but just missed out. The 33-year-old, who was making his Games debut, looked favourite to book a place in the final after finishing runner-up in his heat on Sunday in 45.68 seconds, his fastest time of the year and only 0.34 seconds slower than his personal best.

Hercules Wimbledon's Dwayne Cowan will be making history when he turns out for England in the opening round of the individual Commonwealth Games 400 metres championship in Carrara Stadium on Australia’s Gold Coast on Sunday morning.

Two of Hercules Wimbledon’s older athletes enjoyed outstanding success, gaining a bagful of seven medals in the European Masters Indoor championships in Madrid, Spain, with both Anna Garner and Dominic Bokor-Ingram posting gold medal-winning performances.
