Welcome to the DCAA

"WHAT'S HAPPENED"

As usual it was a busy winter season both for Cross Country, Indoor Sportshall and Road running.
The Cross Country events were mainly blessed with good weather on the day although the rains preceding the events made for heavy going under foot.  The Devon County Championships held in conjunction with the Westward league at Exeter were keenly contested for places in the Devon teams in the South West Inter counties and then onto the UK Inter counties at Nottingham.  In the South West inter counties Devon won several of the age group team awards and although not able to repeat this in the UK inter counties all the athletes performed well with mention going to U13 boy Matthew Bull for his third place.  Thanks go to the Exeter Harriers team of Officials who organised the County championships and our Team managers Derek Smith, Amanda Evans and Gordon Seward.
In the Indoor Sportshall it was a busy season with over 200 young athletes competing and teams representing Devon in the U11 Regional  “Fun in Athletics” plus the U13 and U15 Regional Inter counties both held at Clennon Valley Paignton .  Our thanks go to all those involved in the organisation thus ensuring that our young athletes have an introduction into the sport.
The road runners had another successful winter with the senior men’s team winning both the South West inter county 10 mile and the Devon and Cornwall Peninsula Challenge with the women taking second in both events.


“WHAT'S HAPPENING”

We are now a few weeks into the Track & Field season with the first major event the Devon County AA championships just two weeks away on the 9th/10th May at the Brickfields Track Plymouth.  We hope you have got your entries in and the weather will be kind to us enabling two days of good competition.  From this, teams will be selected for the South West inter counties on Sunday August 23rd at the Exeter Arena.
The Devon Open Series got underway on Sunday 26th April with the next fixtures on 31st May Braunton North Devon, 12th July Exeter Arena and 16th August Brickfields Plymouth.  These fixtures are open to everyone eight years and over and act as an introduction to Track & Field for newcomers and a chance for the experienced athlete to do their specialist event.  It would be good to see all clubs supporting the series especially those with junior sections.
Whatever you are doing ENJOY
