A great night of athletics for the SKAAC contingent at Nunawading on Thursday night, with the BBQ firing (big thanks to chef John Bedelis) and plenty of SKAAC athletes getting out there in the last round before the Christmas break.
With the Shield Season now three-quarters over, the last 3 rounds in January 2017 will be crucial for all teams. So stay fit over the break, but enjoy some rest and come back ready to fire in January 2017. We have meets on 7th, 14th & 21st January, with the Shield Final on February 12 for those teams that qualify, by finishing in the top 2 in White Region.
