ROUND 3 OF SHIELD COMPETITION AT CASEY FIELDS THIS SATURDAY
Round 3 of shield competition will be held at Casey Fields in East Cranbourne, this Saturday, October 31. This is also a zone versus zone competition, so the competition will include blue zone athletes as well as white zone.
Although it is some distance to travel for most athletes, Casey Fields is a nice facility and we need as many athletes as possible competing to make sure our teams make it through to the shield finals at the end of the season.
The program starts at 1:30pm (1:00pm for the long jump).
Please allow yourself plenty of travel time.
See the attached program of events.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
There are a number of ways that you can help the Club and help the summer competition run smoothly. All help no matter how great or small is highly appreciated.
- We need volunteers to help out on shield competition days. This may involve helping to record results or measuring throws or raking a sandpit. If you can help please let us know and we will organise a roster. Even if you can just help once for a few hours, let us know.
- We need team managers! This is not an onerous task, but it does mean being present for the whole afternoon on most weeks of shield competition. Please let us know if you can help.
LOST AND (HOPEFULLY) FOUND
A diamond pendant was lost at the training last week. If anyone has seen it, please let us know so that it can be reunited with its owner.

SHIELD ROUND 2 RESULTS
Women division 1
It appears that we finished 3rd, behind Nunawading and Ringwood. This was due to the fact that we only had eight of our forty registered open women athletes competing. At full strength, we have a good chance of winning the premiership this year, but we won’t get to the finals unless we have more athletes regularly taking part.
