The Sydney MetrO League wraps up for 2019 on Sunday with the finals on WHO's newish Mulgoa map on Sunday.

Mulgoa was unveiled in 2016. Its steep slopes and low visibility made for slow times, and should prove a good test.

Seven of the nine clubs are in finals and this year we will present the perpetual shields and team, medals immediately once results are finalised.

KNOX (Divn 5), Big Foot (Divn 4) and Bennelong (Divn 3) are all unbeaten and aiming to complete the perfect season. Big Foot already have the Frank Assenza Trophy for Division 1 wrapped up, while SHOO-IKO and Garingal Frill Necks will battle for Divn 2 supremacy.

In the race for the individual medals, the leaders in Divisions 1-3 have a 10-point lead over their closest rivals and hence only need to finish on Sunday to win.

Ewan Shingler (BF) has a 10-point lead over Toby Wilson (GO) in Division 1. In Division 2, former JWOC rep Melissa Thomas (BN, sans baby Ryan) is in the same boat - Michael Ridley-Smith (GO) is second by 10. In Division 3 it's Heath Wallace (KNOX) over Gordon Wilson (BN).

In Division 4, Shiona Will (IK) has a 1-point margin over Terry Bluett (BN) but word has reached our ear that she may not be there on Sunday, while in Division 5, Alex Smith (KNOX) has an 8-point buffer over BF youngster Oliver McFarlane. 

Anyone not in a team is welcome to come and do Enter-on-Day. This is the final club event in NSW before Oceania.
