A great performance by Bristol AC in the final Women's Midland League Division 4 match saw them claim a match win and with it promotion to Division 3 after finishing just behind Kettering in the League table.

It was a great result for the girls/women and demonstrates the strength and depth of women's athletics at Bristol AC, especially when you consider that at least 35 athletes were unavailable.
