Doncaster Newsletter
It was back to our home track for the second week of the new Shield format and it was another very successful one for Doncaster. Doncaster topped the state in Division 2! In the Red Shield competition, Doncaster came out top in the men’s 40+ (a big win over last year’s premiers, Diamond Valley and Collingwood, which topped the state last week), Under 20, Under 16 and Under 14 and Women’s Under 18. They were second in the Men’s Open, Under 18, and Women’s Under 16 and Under 14. The club would also like to say thank you to the members who assisted with our club helper duties throughout the day, thanks to your time and efforts the program ran smoothly and your assistance is greatly appreciated by DAC, AV, AV officials and all athletes.
On that note, our next round of club helper duty is in a few weeks time at Round 4 (Relays Round) on Saturday 9th of November at Doncaster and the following athletes are on duties:
