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. So Doncaster slipped another place, though we are still well away from having to fight to retain our position in Premier division. Next year will be much better with our new track.
This weekend we have round 6 at Knox and Epping. We would love to see a massive turnout this weekend from our members for one final hit-out before the Christmas/New Year break. For field event sheets, there are still plenty of spots available in Long Jump at Knox and Triple Jump, Hammer Throw and Shot Put at Epping. Track events at both venues still have plenty of spaces available.
Entries close at midday this Wednesday, so be quick!
Full results from Round 5 available below.
Christmas Party – This Wednesday!
The annual DAC Christmas Party is on this Wednesday!
Like last year, we will be providing rolls, drinks, fruit, snacks and desserts to our members as a thank you for your support of the club this season.
Where: Ruffey Lake Park, park in the car park off Victoria St on the eastern side of the park, and go up to the hill past the playground behind the flying fox.
When: Wednesday 15th (this Wednesday)
Time: 6pm – 8pm
During dinner, we will also be recognising our award winners from the 2020/21 season.
The traditional post dinner games of egg toss, the three legged race and musical chairs will still be held!
All members and their families are welcome to attend what is always a fantastic and relaxing way to finish the year.

Stations was a favourite session of Tom Kelly’s which was held on Christmas Eve, and we are continuing the tradition to remember Tom’s contribution to DAC.

Equipment loans
Any athletes or coaches wishing to borrow equipment from the club for training purposes will need to contact our council liaison officer, Andrew Parrott (facilities@doncasterac.org.au).
