Doncaster 40+ Newsletter
Round 10 – 20/03/2021
After the wash-out last week, it was glory to Doncaster with a magnificent win to propel us into the top spot in Premier Division.
The 40+ men also topped the state with the women coming third. Both won in red zone. The women had their highest score for the year, and the men not far off, with a couple of top performers missing.
Travelling from Nunawading to Doncaster, Peter Coumaros managed all four throws and easily scored the most points for the round at 1347. David Firth was second on 1178 just ahead of Paul Mierisch on 1142. Charmaine Smith and Laura McLennan were also over the 1000 mark.
Athletes to finish in the top 10 in the state for over 40 were:
100 metres: Paul Mierisch (6th) Warren Hattwich (10th)
200 metres: Colleen Kelly (4th) Wendy Smith (5th) Allison Parrott (6th) Lisa Clark (8th)
400 metres: David Firth (8th) Paul Mierisch (11th)
800 metres: Colleen Kelly (3rd)
1500 metres: Allison Parrott (10th)

We’ve been catching up on some records we missed. Jacqui Ward set new records for the W55 sprints in December, and new members Justin Botha and Matt Hughes have been having an interesting tussle. Both sprinters, they both managed to break the M40 club record for the shot put on March 6. Paul Mierisch thought he’d retained his record when it was pointed out that Matt was actually 45, but that left the way for Justin to claim the M40 record. Now they have both broken their records again, with Justin coming out on top. Wendy Smith and Colleen Kelly broke records in the 200 metres, while Charmaine Smith broke them in the Hammer Throw and Triple Jump.

Remember that entries are now open for the Play offs, so if you haven’t entered yet there is still time. Entries close Wednesday midday.
The difficulty with the Play offs is that anyone not turning up for their event will lose 100 points, so if you are planning to do extra events, at least have an attempt, unless you have a medical certificate.
Check your scores for the events to ensure that you enter the events which score the most points for the club.
