Big Foot have wrapped up another Division 1 MetrO League title with a round to spare, after hosting a brilliant day out at Lapstone.
The Darks Common map is one of the best in our Sydney club competition, offering a tough enough challenge for experienced orienteers while throwing in plenty of tracks, catching features and attackpoints to assist newcomers.
Division 3 held the most intrigue. Knox had two matches to play; winning just one might have meant a finals berth. Alas, undermanned, they lost both, to leave SHOO-IKO to face Bennelong in the decider at Boggabilla on August 26.
Knox are the only club out of 9 not to feature in the finals.
Uringa-Central Coast face the undefeated Big Foot in Division 2 and WHO in Division 5, while the two Garingal teams face off in Division 4 after recording comfortable wins.
Big Foot had Division 1, which runs on a first-past-the-post basis, in the bag after SHOO-IKO upset a depleted Garingal team missing its three World Uni Champs reps.
All the match scores and individual points tables have been updated on our ML web page.
A big thanks to Big Foot for a super morning. Andy Simpson notes: "Thanks to the competitor who found an old control out there - it has a flat battery, but once we have replaced that we might be able to figure out which event it was from, if it still works."
