Olympic and world medallist Yemi Mary John and UK triple jump champion Georgie Forde-Wells headline a Woodford Green with Essex Ladies team that will host the second NAL Premiership match of 2026 on Saturday.

They are set to test their skill over alternate events, with John opting to run a 200m and Forde-Wells involved in the long jump.

Thames Valley Harriers will look to build on their Premiership victory in May when NAL teams meet for the second match of the year at Woodford Green.

Their team includes Great Britain long jumper Molly Palmer, and former UK indoor champions Lily Hulland (triple jump) and Nemiah Munir (pole vault), as well as up-and-coming sprinters such as Kaya Slater (200m) and Jasmine Wilkins (100m, 4x100m).

After a winning double over 800m and 1500m last time out, Charlotte Buckley has opted for the 800m and 3000m this weekend.

Reigning champions Harrow include regulars such as 2025 joint-UK high jump champion Divine Duruaku, discus thrower Nick Percy and hurdler Marli Jessop.

Great Britain hammer thrower Jake Norris is included in Windsor, Slough, Eton and Hounslow’s squad.
