Round 5 – 11/12/2021
The tyranny of distance and the Melbourne Marathon made it very difficult for us this week. The fields at Casey, for all clubs except the locals, were very sparse and we didn’t have any extras at Aberfeldie to compensate. The ones who did attend did exceptionally well, with lots of records, including Jim Poulter beating the Victorian record he set a few weeks before.
