Promotion Sealed, Survival Fights Tighten And Muhammad Steals The Sprint Spotlight
League Week 7 (20th June 2026)
Week 7 of the International League brought the season to the edge of its final act, with several British clubs confirming promotion, others sliding towards relegation, and a handful still facing one decisive weekend.
With one fixture remaining, the league tables now tell very different stories. Some clubs can already start planning for a higher division. Others are clinging to survival hopes. A few have nothing left to play for beyond pride, position and momentum before Season 107.

Weymouth Bay Sharks
Weymouth Bay Sharks are now the highest-ranked British club in the Golden League. Their 47 points leave them fifth with one week remaining, and a top-half finish is almost secured. The Sharks collected 10 points in Week 7 and have moved ahead of Quemerford Harriers in the British pecking order. With relegation never a serious concern, they now have the chance to end the season as Britain’s leading top-flight club.
Quemerford Harriers
Quemerford Harriers sit sixth on 42 points after taking only 3 points in Week 7. That leaves them still safe and still well placed, but they now need a strong final performance to secure a top-half finish. It has been another season full of major-finals quality for Quemerford, but in league terms they have been overtaken by Weymouth Bay Sharks at the top of the British challenge.
Hacksaws
Hacksaws are tenth on 33 points and should be safe from relegation. Their 6-point Week 7 return gives them a useful cushion, although the comments column notes that fourth place or better in the final week would guarantee a mid-table finish. Even a weaker result should still be enough, but they will want to remove any final doubt as early as possible.
Catalytical AC
Catalytical AC produced one of the most important British results of the week. Their 8-point return lifted them out of the Golden League relegation zone for the first time this season, leaving them eleventh on 32 points. They are not safe yet, but they now face a final-week meeting against relegation-placed clubs with survival in their own hands. A decent result should be enough to keep Catalytical at the top table for another season.
League 2.1
Kingstonians
Kingstonians are on the brink of history. Their 76 points leave them top of League 2.1, seven points clear at the summit and twelve ahead of third place. They need just one point in the final week to confirm promotion to the Golden League for the first time in club history. A fourth-place finish or better would also secure the divisional title. After a superb campaign, Kingstonians are almost there.
League 2.2
E-LDN Surge
E-LDN Surge have already secured promotion with one week to spare. Their 78 points leave them top of League 2.2 and twelve clear of second place. They now need just one point to confirm the title. The only lingering intrigue is whether their recent sale of several leading athletes affects the final week. Promotion is banked, but the championship still needs finishing.
Bumble Bees AC
Bumble Bees AC sit fourth on 54 points after a strong 10-point week, but promotion is beyond their reach. Their battle now is for position. They could still finish as high as third, but could also drop as low as sixth, so the final week still matters. It has been a season of strong individual moments, but the league campaign has fallen just short of a promotion challenge.
Reading Palm Faces
Reading Palm Faces are fifth on 52 points after an excellent 12-point return in Week 7. A top-half finish is guaranteed, and they will now push Bumble Bees AC for fourth place. Promotion has gone, but Reading can still finish the campaign strongly and take momentum into next season.
Pineapple AC
Pineapple AC are seventh on 43.5 points and can now relax. Their 12-point Week 7 performance has guaranteed a mid-table finish, with the comments noting there is not too much left to battle for in the final week. After earlier survival concerns, Pineapple have steadied themselves well.
League 3.1
Olympians
Olympians are definitely going up to League 2. Their 74 points leave them top of League 3.1, and promotion is confirmed. They need only 3 points in the final week to make sure of the title. Even though Week 7 brought only 4 points, their work across the season has already been enough to secure the main prize.
Dc Ac
Dc Ac are almost out of chances. Their 24 points leave them fifteenth in League 3.1, deep inside the bottom six relegation places. The workbook describes relegation as all but confirmed, and with only one week remaining it would take something extraordinary to keep them in Division Three.
League 3.2
Leeds United AC
Leeds United AC are close to promotion but not quite there yet. Their 73 points put them top of League 3.2 after a perfect 12-point Week 7. A fourth-place finish or better in the final week would secure the title, while promotion looks highly likely. They still need to finish the job, but they are in an excellent position.
Heworth Harriers
Heworth Harriers remain in the thick of the promotion battle. Their 65 points leave them third, just one point behind the second promotion place. A 10-point Week 7 kept them right in contention, and they will push hard in the final week. Promotion is possible, but they need to overtake one of the clubs above them.
Belfast Blitz
Belfast Blitz are fourth on 61 points and still have an outside chance of promotion. Their 8-point Week 7 was solid, but they remain behind both the promotion places and Heworth Harriers. A good final result is essential, and even then they may need help elsewhere.
The Titans
The Titans sit sixth on 48 points and are battling for a top-half finish. Promotion is now out of reach, but they are clear of the relegation battle and can still end the season respectably. Their final week will be about position rather than survival.
Wacky Racers
Wacky Racers are seventh on 47 points and, like The Titans, are fighting for a top-half finish. They scored 8 points in Week 7 and remain safely placed. Promotion has gone, relegation is not a realistic concern, so the final week is about ending the campaign positively.
League 3.3
Filham Excelsior
Filham Excelsior produced a vital 12-point Week 7 and now sit eighth on 42 points. They are still only two points above the drop zone, but also only six points away from a top-six finish. That sums up how tight League 3.3 has become. Anything is still possible next week, but their Week 7 result has given them a real chance of survival.
Caledonian
Caledonian are eleventh on 40 points and remain in the relegation places, but only by two points. Their 8-point Week 7 kept them alive, and the comments column notes that a good final result could still see them safe. The club also produced the Relay of the Week, so there is still quality in the squad, but they must now translate that into one final league push.
League 3.4
Yellerbellies
Yellerbellies are third on 62 points after a perfect 12-point Week 7, but they remain seven points behind the automatic promotion places. The most likely outcome is a third-place finish, which would be frustrating after such a strong campaign. They have given themselves a very good season, but promotion probably requires too much help from elsewhere.
Sutton Athletic Club
Sutton Athletic Club sit eighth on 42 points despite competing in only five meetings. A mid-table finish is almost certain, although their missed weeks remain a concern. They are not in immediate danger, but the lack of regular participation has prevented them from pushing any higher.
Iron Road Runners
Iron Road Runners remain one of the biggest stories of the lower divisions. Their 32 points leave them eleventh, inside the bottom six relegation places and four points from safety. The missed week still hurts them badly. A top-three finish in the final fixture could yet lift them clear, but anything less may leave one of Britain’s strongest championship clubs facing a shock relegation.
League 4
South Hams Harriers
South Hams Harriers have guaranteed promotion from League 4.2. Their 80 points put them top of the division after another 12-point week, and only the title battle with LC Pokemon remains unresolved. Promotion is secured, and they now have one week to crown the campaign with a championship.
Budd Park Darts
Budd Park Darts sit ninth on 34.5 points and remain 4.5 points outside the relegation zone. They are not safe yet and still have work to do in the final week. Survival remains in their hands, but they cannot afford to drift through the last fixture.
Bourne Harriers
Bourne Harriers are relegated without turning up this season. They remain bottom of League 4.2 with no points, no events score and no meetings completed. It has been a campaign to forget.
Newcastle Athletic Club
Newcastle Athletic Club have guaranteed promotion from League 4.3. Their 74 points leave them second, and the comments confirm that they will finish either second or third. The title is gone, but the main job is done. Newcastle are heading to League 3.
Carmarthen Harriers
Carmarthen Harriers are ninth on 19 points, but their situation is much more dangerous than the position alone suggests. They are only 4.5 points from the relegation zone, and failure to turn up for the last three weeks may yet see them relegated. A final-week return is essential.
Candas
Candas have gained promotion to League 3. Their 73 points leave them third in League 4.4, and promotion is confirmed. It has been a strong campaign, and they can approach the final week knowing the season’s main objective has already been achieved.
Angels Athletic Birmingham
Angels Athletic Birmingham sit seventh on 46 points and are assured of a mid-table finish. They are not involved in promotion or relegation, but that stability is still a positive outcome. Their final week is about finishing with pride and perhaps climbing another place or two.
Monkstown Spartans
Monkstown Spartans are relegated. Their 6 points leave them fourteenth in League 4.5 and they have not done enough to escape the bottom six. It has been a difficult campaign and Division Five now awaits.
Fulvio Sports
Fulvio Sports are also relegated. They are fifteenth with 6 points, having competed in only one meeting. Like Monkstown, their season has been defined by lack of participation.
Grimsby Harriers
Grimsby Harriers sit sixth on 50 points in League 4.6 and are set for a mid-table finish. They are safe, steady and clear of danger, even if promotion has been out of reach. This has been a respectable campaign.
Springburn Harriers
Springburn Harriers are tenth on 25 points and still six points above the relegation zone, but the comments column warns that two no-shows make automatic relegation likely. Their position gives them hope, but their participation record threatens to undo the work they have already done.
Risca Harriers AAC
Risca Harriers AAC have assured promotion from League 4.7. Their 76 points leave them second after a 12-point Week 7, and if results go their way they could still steal the trophy. Promotion was the main target, and that has now been achieved.
BRC
BRC sit third in League 4.8 on 68 points and face a head-to-head battle with Metropolitan AC for the remaining promotion spot. Their 8-point Week 7 kept them in the promotion places, but nothing is settled. This is one of the most important British final-week battles.
RaySen Academy
RaySen Academy are relegated. After a promising start, continual no-shows have dragged them down to twelfth on 22 points, inside the bottom six. Their season has slipped away through absence rather than lack of early potential.
League 5 And League 6
Great Britain
The club named Great Britain sits third in League 5.2 on 50 points and is involved in a three-way promotion battle for the final week. Third, fourth and fifth are all in
contention, and the winner of that fight will take promotion. It is one of the clearest final-week shootouts in the lower divisions.
Glasgow Jaguars
Glasgow Jaguars are champions and promoted from League 5.3. Their 84 points represent a perfect seven-week return, and they are already certain of both the title and a higher division next season. Few British clubs have controlled a league as completely this season.
Chios Track Club
Chios Track Club sit eighth in League 5.3 on 37 points and are set for a mid-table finish. Promotion is not part of the final-week picture, but they have at least kept themselves competitive and can look to end the season positively.
Hawarden Rangers AC
Hawarden Rangers AC remain in a promotion battle in League 5.7. Their 52 points leave them fourth, just outside the top three. A 10-point Week 7 has kept them alive, and they now need one more big final-week performance to force their way into the promotion places.
Kings Park Harriers
Kings Park Harriers are promoted from League 5.16. Their 74 points leave them top, and a good final week will crown them champions. Promotion is already secured, and the only question left is whether they finish the job with the title.
Kubes
Kubes are promoted as champions from League 6.6. Their 84 points give them a perfect seven-week record, although in a one-club division the outcome was never seriously in doubt. Even so, they have done exactly what was required.
Athlete Of The Week
The Athlete of the Week is Muhammad Salton of Catalytical AC, who ran 11.39 to win the men’s 100 metres in the Golden League.
It was not only the best men’s 100m performance by a British-club athlete this week, but also a result that carried extra importance because Catalytical are fighting for Golden League survival. In a week where every point mattered, Salton delivered speed when his club needed it most.

Relay Of The Week
The Relay of the Week went to Caledonian Female A, team who ran 51.85 to win the women’s 4x100m in League 3.3.
For Caledonian, the timing could not have been better. The club remains in the relegation places, but the relay victory showed that there is still fight in the squad. If they are to escape on the final weekend, they will need more performances like this.
Heather Burgess, Keira Sanderson, Ellie McColl and Sienna Albiston ran 51.85 seconds to win the women's 4x100m relay in todays league meeting.

There were important performances elsewhere too. Aiden Hillcoat of Iron Road Runners led the men’s discus with 63.78m, Rory McWilliam of Quemerford Harriers topped both the hammer with 61.36m and the javelin with 63.63m, and Ryan Redmond scored 4,573 points in the men’s pentathlon. Milkica Kolekjevska of E-LDN Surge ran 12.15 in the women’s 100m, Keira Maxwell led the women’s 400m hurdles with 1:05.46, and Harvey Collins won the best 50km walk performance with 4h:14:09.47.
Bumble Bees AC also had standout combined-event performances, with Ellie Menzies scoring 4,387 points in the women’s pentathlon and Nicola Higgins scoring 6,078 points in the heptathlon. Kimberley Combe added the best women’s long jump of the week with 5.32m. Kingstonians continued their promotion push with Ashley Winters leading the men’s 3000m steeplechase in 12:18.37, John Traynor topping the 10km walk in 51:00.96, and Amelia McMillan leading the women’s 5000m in 17:03.62.
Final Week Picture
The final week now has everything. Kingstonians are one point from a historic first promotion to the Golden League. E-LDN Surge are already promoted and chasing the League 2.2 title. Olympians, South Hams Harriers, Newcastle Athletic Club, Candas, Risca Harriers AAC, Glasgow Jaguars, Kings Park Harriers and Kubes have all secured promotion, while several others remain in the fight.
At the other end, Bourne Harriers, Monkstown Spartans, Fulvio Sports and RaySen Academy are already down. Dc Ac are almost gone, while Iron Road Runners, Caledonian, Carmarthen Harriers, Springburn Harriers and Budd Park Darts all still have something serious to play for.
Week 7 did not settle everything. It made the final weekend matter even more.
