Newcastle's Jenny Enderby has finished a superb fortnight in New Zealand with bronze in the W45 Long Distance final at the World Masters Orienteering in Auckland.

Jenny also picked up third place in the Sprint on Monday, adding to her Sprint gold and two silvers at the Oceania champs over Easter in the same terrain.

On Saturday's 5.3km final in the dunes and pines of Woodhill Forest, she was four minutes off the winning time of 43.04 set by Victorian Natasha Key.

After dominating the Sprint finals, the large Australian contingent got a lesson from the Europeans, and the Scandinavians in particular, in the Long final.

Other top ten place-getters from NSW in the A finals were: Andrew Hill (WHO, pictured) sixth in M35, Tracy Bluett (Big Foot) seventh in W40, Maureen Ogilvie (Uringa) eighth in W80 and Lynn Dabbs (WHO) ninth in W65.

In the B finals, Alex Davey (Waggaroos) won M60, Kevin Williams (WHO) tied for first in M75 and Salme Fuller (IKO) was third in W50.

Thank you to the NZ organisers for a massive two weeks of orienteering.
