AVSL Round 6: Meadowglen - Xmas Joy at the Valley

What a magic day for the Diamond Valley Athletic Club at Meadowglen last Saturday! It was the round chosen to use our Powerplay & it paid handsome dividends. Ten points for heading the Premier Division table became 20 and the club’s highest points tally was enough to drag the club into second place on the season ladder after 6 rounds.

AVSL Rd1: NEW SEASON STARTS WELL AT THE VALLEY

By the end of competition the Valley was listed 5th on the 10 team Premier League ladder. This gave our club 6 valuable points for the Round. A year ago, DVAC finished Round 1 in 8th position and earned only 3 points. It was a long hard slog before DVAC worked clear of the threat of relegation and finished the 2020/ 2021 season in 5th place. This year we are much better situated to build toward a top four spot on the ladder and the right to take part in the AVSL finals.

Jaryd wins Silver in 5000m

Jaryd Clifford was in shock. As he crossed the line in second place in the men’s 5000m T13, the 22-year-old was physically exhausted. He staggered around, briefly congratulated his competitors, and then, as the commentator David Culbert put it, Clifford went off for a moment to lose his lunch.
