Berkshire Orienteers

Good luck to those competing this weekend.  There are 25 members having a go at the Oxford City Race on Sunday and 23 members in the SCOA Long Distance Championships at SARUM’s Sidbury Hill near Tidworth on Sunday.  There is limited on the day entry for both events but, at the Sunday event, these will not be eligible for the SCOA Championship.

The club had a team at the CompassSport Cup heat at Fonthill on Sunday, with 37 members competing, providing enough qualifying runners to give us the full 25 counting scores. The results swayed back and forth during the competition, with BKO and DEVON fighting for 3^rd place. After a ding-dong battle, BKO ahead by 37 points at 2 pm, but DEVON clawing back to lead us by just 6 points towards the close, looking like clinching it.
