Thefirst match of the SNAL took place on Saturday and athletes enjoyed sunshineand a "back to the future" event where there was an inter clubelement.
The event was well supported by parents,Edinburgh officials, and coaches.
The new format provides competition for allthose in the club wishing to compete in the U17 to Senior age groups and it wasfantastic to see some of our Master athletes, enjoying the experience.
