Team Southampton Young Athletes currently competing in the National Young Athletes League have so far competed in Wycombe, Portsmouth and Southampton twice, out of those 4 matches they have won 3 and come a very close second in their other match.
With one match to go they currently sit 2nd in the League table:
| National Young Athletes League (Div S1W)
| | Results after 4 Matches, Updated 4th July | | 1 |
Reading AC | 1731 | 16 | | 2 |
Team
Southampton | 1724 | 15 | | 3 |
Wycombe Phoenix |
1600 |
15 |
| 4 | City of Portsmouth | 1424.5 | 13 |
with the top two clubs gaining promotion into the Southern Premier league Team Southmampton is by no means safe as they currently sit on equal match points with Wycombe Phoenix. In order to ensure promotion they must win their final match at home on 22nd July 2007 against Guildford & Godalming (7th), Dacorum & Tring (9th) & Guernsey / Jersey (12th) and end up on a higher competition points total than Wycombe Phoenix (which is quite likely given our 124 point advantage).
Should the juniors gain promotion it would be the first time we have been in the premier division since I was in the league back in the late nineties.
This excellent performance has been made possible thanks in no small part to the merger of Southampton City AC and Team Solent back in October 2004 bringing together two heritages of strong young athletics in the region.

Best of luck to our Athletes
