Round 11 of the Shield Competition saw Doncaster back on their home track, though the weather was nasty and the program finished early. However, it was a big win for the 40+ team over Collingwood and Diamond Valley.
Paul Mierisch and David Firth were back competing in four events, and David was top scorer with 1375 to Paul’s 1374. Darryl was also over 1000. Kath set a new record in the hammer throw while Darryl continues to improve, breaking his 200 metres record.
Keen to qualify in more events, Will took his courage in his hands and had his first attempt at the 300 metres hurdles and was only beaten by a younger athlete who should not have been competing in this event. This qualified him for another event in the finals and was also a new record.
Rod De Highden also qualified for the 800 and shot put. With one more competition he will qualify for the finals, but Mark still needs one more competition to qualify.
Next week the finals program is at Box Hill, so we hope everyone can make it and ensure we stay in the top three. I notice that there is a three hour gap between the 200 and the 800!
The previous week there were some other competitions: a Milers Meet and Country Championships.
