Doncaster 40+ Newsletter
Second day of the new Shield format saw a big win to Doncaster, beating both Diamond Valley and Collingwood. Fourth in the state was quite an improvement on recent years, and our numbers are growing. A big welcome to Mark Purser who set a club record in the M55 1500 metres, while Will McCombie continues to break records in the M60. Michael Scales also set a couple of records in the M55.
The strength of Doncaster is not so much the number of athletes, but the number of events each athlete competes in. Darryl, David and Paul all competed in four events, while Will scored over 1,000 points in just three. So Paul, David and Will all scored more than 1,000 points, a great effort.
With Kath Gawthorn unable to run, the women’s team slipped down a place. We need a few more 40+ women. Please spread the word.
