Doncaster 40+ Newsletter
It was a big win for Doncaster in the AVSL final on Saturday with Doncaster defeating Nunawading for the Division 2 flag! With Nunawading having the best men’s open team in the state, it was left to the juniors and seniors to do the heavy lifting for the team. Of the sixteen athletes scoring more than 1,000 points, eight were part of the 40+ team. These were:
|
Campbell Mclennan |
1,478 |
|
Charmaine Smith |
1,122 |
|
Darryl Kilmartin |
1,302 |

David Firth |

Being the end of the season for many athletes, many PBs and club records were set. Those to set multiple records included Kath Gawthorn, Charmaine Smith, Mark Purser and Graham Ford.
In Red Zone the men topped the table ahead of Diamond Valley, who won the championship last year. They finished third in the state. The women finished a creditable third, considering there were only three in the team, all doing multiple events.
