Big Foot and SHOO-IKO took out five of the six divisions as the Sydney MetrO League wound up for 2020 at Boggabilla Reserve on Sunday.
Round 1 pre-covid at Castle Hill seems like a different universe, and we are grateful that we have found a way to stage events since community sport resumed in July.
The fifth and final round was on an updated map (thanks Rebecca George) unrecognisable from previous visits - in a number of areas the bush was considerably slower and thicker, and this made controls harder to find.
Big Foot (pictured left) completed unbeaten seasons in the top two divisions to make it yet another quinella, thrashing Garingal and Bennelong respectively.
Their Division 2 team was a family affair, with three Shinglers and two Georges.
SHOO-IKO (pictured right) had a day to remember, winning their last round robin matches in Divisions 3 and 5 (topping the latter table on 'goal difference') and upsetting Garingal in the Division 6 final to make it three premierships.
Garingal's unbeaten Division 4 side made it 5 straight with a comfortable win over SHOO-IKO.
Individual medal winners were:
* Div 1: Toby Wilson (GO)
* Div 2: Cooper Horley (GO)
* Div 3: Miles Ellis (BF)
* Div 4: Adam Horley (GO)
* Div 5: Samuel Tsang (BN)
* Div 6: James Stuart (IK)
Congratulations to the father-son Horleys!

A big thank you to setter Shane Doyle, controller Ori Gudes, organiser Zoe Melling, Ron Pallas on SI and all the Uringa helpers. Our hosts were doing it tough following the passing of club legend Terry Murphy on Friday.
And a special thank you to all the club captains, along with the lovely chaps from Bankstown Sports Baseball Club for the use of facilities.
