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.

Round 2 of the Athletics Victoria Shield League season was an excellent day at the office for the Diamond Valley Athletic Club. After finishing 5th on the Premier League ladder at the end of Round 1, the DVAC team (35 Women & 32 Men) racked up a total 42,581 points for Round 2, placing the club third on the table for the round. The 8 points gained for Round 2 combined with the 5 points from Round 1 sees the Valley edge ahead of Doncaster at the end of Round 2 with 14 points to 13.

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.
