Welcome to Orienteering NSW

Orienteering is a sport that challenges both the body and the mind. It's also loads of fun!

The aim is to use a special orienteering map to navigate your way around a course and visit marked check points along the way. You choose a course that suits your age and experience and proceed at your own pace: walk, jog or run. It is a race but you decide if you want to just race yourself or be the next world champion! The course may take you through urban areas, parks, schools, farmland or forests.

Events are conducted weekly across NSW and beginners are welcome at all events.

Howe - much fun is our MetrO League!

MetrO League's first foray to William Howe Reserve near Mt Annan has just about decided our finalists with a round still to go.

It was steep in parts, it was spiky in parts, it was open in parts - and setter Dean Williamson got the course lengths pretty much spot on. With kangaroos and wallabies darting across the wooded slopes, it was a gorgeous winter morning.

As the whiteboard filled with times, the strong teams got stronger.

Big Foot in Division 1 are almost certain to retain the Frank Assenza Trophy after Garingal suffered a shock loss to a three-man WHO outfit.

Uringa-Central Coast and Big Foot (Divn 2), Garingal Monitors (Divn 4), and UR-CC (Divn 5) also maintained their perfect records to book their places in the August 26 decider at Boggabilla.

Division 3 is where things are really interesting: SHOO-IKO are on 8 points and have a 'goal difference' of 49. Bennelong, KNOX and WHO are all on 6 points. In the last round at Lapstone next month, KNOX have a double header against the other two - so anything is mathematically possible among those top four teams.

In Division 4, the second-placed Garingal Molochs - due to a strong for/against - look set for an intra-club final even if they lose their last round.

In Division 5, WHO must knock over the unbeaten UR-CC or risk being pipped by KNOX or the Garingal Blue Tongues.

We liked seeing the young newcomers having a go as practice for the Sydney South West primary schools champs this week.

See the MetrO League web page for all the latest results.

Thanks SHOO.
