2020-02-08 AVSL Round 12

Doncaster Newsletter

It was glory to Doncaster on the last round of the shield competition with a massive win to ensure we progress to the Premier Division next year. The call was put out for athletes to support the club and they responded in spades. We even had five relay teams!

The Men’s 40+ team had another big win, as did the Under 16 and Under 14 and the Women’s under 18. The big improvement of the round was the three members of the Women’s 40+ team who finished five points behind Diamond Valley.

The leader board for division 2 at the end of the season is:

  1. Nunawading 108
  2. Doncaster 105
  3. Mornington 101
  4. Eaglehawk 100

We will now be competing in Premier division next year. The Shield Final in two weeks time will be an opportunity for us to fight for the Division 2 flag. No matter what age group you compete in, Doncaster needs you to turn up to try and win that flag. There are no flags for the individual age groups at Shield Final – maybe next year.

However,  in the Red Zone age group standings, our 40+ Men have won their first premiership, the Under 16 Men have won back-to-back age group titles while the Under 14 Men won their third in a row and our Under 18 Women won their second zone premiership in three years, narrowly beating Collingwood! These results are a positive indicator that our club is growing and remaining competitive against bigger clubs.

Part of the reason for our resounding win were contributions from a number of athletes who are not eligible for the finals. That would account for at least 5,000 points, so we do need all eligible athletes to come along and support the club. These athletes will need to register online from midday this Wednesday the 12th. Be aware that the program is expected to run late, so avoid making plans for the evening if you expect to be part of a relay team.   

Owen Rice was our top competitor with 538 for the M16 hammer throw and 524 for the M16 discus throw. Petra Edwards 525 points for the F16 long jump, Alessia Wynne 525 points for the F18 hurdles, 505 for the F18 long jump and 501 for the F18 100 metres. Anthony Jordon also scored 512 for the M15 100 metres with Luke Sinn (1500m) and Ethan Sinn (800m) not far behind. This is the most scores over 500 we have had for the season.

Athletes to top the state in their Division 2 groups included Luke Sinn (M16 1500 metres), Eliza Chivers (F14 high jump), Owen Rice (M16 discus throw and hammer throw).
