A premiership eluded Box Hill Athletic Club at AV Shield Final, but there were some good team results and a particularly strong performance from our under 14 girls. This promising group of young athletes missed out on a premiership by the narrowest of margins.
Eight out of nine Box Hill teams have qualified for the AV Shield Final, which will be held at Lakeside Stadium on Saturday, 10 February.
Seven Box Hill teams are in the top two and two are in the top three, with one round remaining before AV Shield Finals.
