Dane Bird-Smith Shield 2024
Although strong headwinds often made sprint PBs close to impossible, it was definitely our best Shield meet of the season so far with a great team effort at the Dane Bird-Smith Shield Meet today at QE2. Wins went to Tate Van Camp in Heat 2 of the 800m in a PB of 1:58.88, Sam Shaw…

Norma Croker Shield 2024
It might have been tricky conditions in the wet for a lot of our athletes but once again an excellent effort overall for 6th out of 36 clubs at today’s Norma Croker Shield at QE2. When I look at the calibre of people involved in many of those clubs we compete against and what they…

Darren Thrupp Shield 2024
In maybe the stickiest couple of months of conditions we have experienced at QE2 I have been really impressed by the commitment and support of our athletes and parents like Haiden and Russell Boyd showing the grit that’s necessary in this sport above all else to keep fronting up and putting in each week. Haiden…

Gary Brown Shield 2024
Some of us were a bit rusty after the longer than usual Christmas break but there were still some handy performances at the Garry Brown Shield to open proceedings at QE2 today for the 2024 year. Early fouls and somewhat lesser jumps were forgotten as Aidan Dallinger produced a big final effort of 13.21m to…

New Year’s Eve Resolution Run 2023
The obligatory storm threatened but didn’t quite materialise at an epic New Year’s Eve Resolution Run on a very interesting course with a variety of surfaces at Emerald Lakes Golf Club tonight. Well done to Kyoko from the Ernies who took first place in the Women’s 12k race.

2023 Final Thoughts
In trying to find a photo that summed up a year that ran at a frantic pace for us like no other I thought I would choose this one of Don Stapleton and Aidan Dallinger together at a low-key meet at UQ track at St Lucia the day of the AFL Grand Final. As sports…
