DAVID SWEENEY AND STUART MOORE IN AUSTRALIA – Before I talk about Dave Sweeney’s exploits at the World Masters Championships in Perth, Australia, I will reveal the background on how DAVID and STUART finally made Australia their home.

STUART first went to Australia in 1986 where he met his wife CHRISTINE, they got married in 2001 and have two children, LAUREN who is 10 and DECLAN is 12.

DAVID first visited Australia in 1988/89 on a backpacker’s visa, where he met his wife NATALIE, and they both moved back to England in 1990. They made the permanent move back in 2004 to Brisbane, and have four children, OLIVER who is 22, KATE 20, MAX 16 and LILY 13.  The newest member to the family is SASCHA who is a 3 year old Beagle Staffy cross.dave-sweeney-6

They both take a great photograph.

RAY POWELL has told me that from the ages of 13-17, DAVID, PHIL BROWN and himself used to train together at least 3-4 times a week and we became great friends, and we were in many winning cross country teams together. But the only blip in DAVID’S amazing cv came in the Barnet Schools 1976 cross country championships. Then there were two leagues in the borough, with RAY winning his five races and DAVID won his five races. The Final brought both leagues together, and there was a lot in the press about POWELL and SWEENEY finally meeting. In the end (you can Guess) RAY came out the winner with PHIL BROWN 2nd and DAVID 3rd, although RAY as always generous to the end, admitted DAVID did have a very bad cold, so he did not celebrate too much.

With the World Master’s approaching DAVID’S training was going well, and was not only looking forward to the Championship’s but also meeting up with his mate STUART in Perth. STUART works for BDO who are one of the main sponsors of the Championship so they attended the Athletes Party with sponsors tickets. We got to meet Stuart Galloway from Canada, 3rd in the M55 5000m and 1st in the 1500m. He is retired from work! I can’t believe people my age are so well set they are retired at 55!

DAVID’S performances in the Championships were outstanding, winning 6 Gold Medals.

Firstly, on the track the 5000m (16:43.07) winning by 23 seconds, then the 10000m (33:15.16) this time winning by a margin of 2 minutes and 24 seconds.

Next came the Cross Country and was equally as impresses winning the 8000m (27.18) by 1 minute and 53 seconds. Finally, on the Road won the Half Marathon (1:13.42) by 1 minute and 33 seconds.

DAVID was also a member of the Australian team that won the 8000m Cross Country and Half Marathon team Gold Medals.
