Sparse forest and plenty of road/track options made for fast times at our MetrO League finals at Lansdowne on Sunday.

The five divisions were won by five different clubs, as rain threatened to dampen the champions' parade.

Much to everyone's disappointment there were only a few drops and we hope for decent falls across the land.

This was our third outing on the revised Boggabilla  map, and setter Jim Mackay got his course lengths spot on - with the quicker runners thankful for times a bit under 35 minutes for a change.

Big Foot (pictured) already had Division 1 in the bag before beating Garingal, but couldn't repeat their 2017 quinella as Uringa-Central Coast took out Division 2.

Bennelong knocked over SHOO-IKO in Division 3, the Molochs won the all-Garingal Division 4 final, and WHO's all-female team triumphed in Division 5.

Our champions for 2018 are:

Division 1: Big Foot. Individual: Alastair George (BF).
Division 2: Uringa-Central Coast. Individual: Shane Doyle (UR).
Division 3: Bennelong. Individual: John Bulman (GO).
Division 4: Garingal Molochs. Individual: Robert Herkes (GO).
Division 5: WHO. Individual: Melanie Christie (UR). 

Our MetrO League web page has been updated with all today's results.

Thank you to all the clubs, participants, setters, controllers, organisers and results gurus for another great year.
