Doncaster Newsletter 40+
Edition 69
Round 8 – 21/01/2023
Round 8 was the first round after the Christmas break, and the over 40s were there in spades. Both men’s and women’s teams scored almost twice as much as in round 7. Unfortunately, many of the younger teams were missing members on the day, so our Powerplay wasn’t as successful as it might have been.
It was a big welcome to Vanessa Drew, having her first run for the club, while Warren Hattwich returned to action, having not run since November. He celebrated by breaking Campbell’s 200 metres record! Colleen Kelly and David Vaughan both broke their 800 metres records, while Kim Peak broke her walk record and Darryl Kilmartin set a new one in the triple jump.
It was interesting to note that Colleen Kelly finished higher on the rankings for her 200 than her 800 or 3000 metres. Obviously she’s been concentrating on the wrong events!
Make sure you enter as soon as possible after 5pm this Wednesday for round 9. Field events can fill up in a matter of minutes.
Qualification for Playoffs – IMPORTANT (timetable attached)
If you want to compete in the 2 rounds of playoffs it is important to make sure you qualify. See below wording in AVSL rules:
7.2 PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS
To compete at AVSL Playoffs, athletes must have a recorded performance in that event (or in an event listed as similar – refer rule 6.3) at AVSL, as well as having competed in three (3) preliminary rounds of AVSL.
Athletes that have eligibility to participate at an individual event at AVSL Playoffs are eligible to participate in any relays held at AVSL Playoffs.
We encourage you all to qualify in at least 3 events for each round of playoffs (if possible)

Athletes to finish top 10 in the state were:

W40+ 200m Collen Kelly (3rd) Vanessa Drew (5th), 800m Colleen Kelly (6th) Lydia Rinaudo (9th), 3000m Colleen Kelly (5th)
It’s not surprising, looking at the team results, that the four top scorers were over 40. David Vaughan scored 1,338 with Paul Mierisch on 1,266, David Firth on 1,261, Campbell McLennan on 1,196 and Darryl Kilmartin on 1,033. An outstanding effort.
