Rebecca Kennedy (Western Plains) has received a Dubbo Sports Award for her orienteering and a $500 local sports champion grant to assist her to go further in the sport.

Rebecca (pictured) this year took out the W16A class in the State League Orienteer of the Year competition.

For the past three years she has been a member of the NSW All Schools team that competed at the annual Australian championships, which this year were in Ballarat.

Fellow members of the Carbines (the NSW Schools Team) to receive grants were Ellen and Duncan Currie (Garingal) and Ewan Shingler (Big Foot).

The grant helps the athletes cover some of the cost of travel and competition. Congratulations to these orienteers, and another huge thank you to Rebecca's mum Sally who is our junior squad manager and encouraged them to apply.
