The eleventh round of Shield saw Doncaster having to travel to Knox or Werribee, so numbers were down. Congratulations to Charmaine Smith who competed in four events and was the only member of the Women’s Open team. The Men’s Under 16 were below strength and, with a big win, Diamond Valley have now moved to just one point behind them. Collingwood are only four points behind the Women’s Under 18.
Congratulations to Kai Sapolu breaking the under 14 record for the 200 metres hurdles.
