The Waggaroos vs Albury Wodonga Interclub series of 2012 had the Waggaroos getting off to a good start with a win in the opening event of the Interclub Series against Albury last Sunday with a score of 16:11.
The event was organised by the Albury Club on a newly mapped area near Table Top and proved to be a wonderful challenge in a small area. The 1:5000 scale meant a huge amount of detail was presented to the participant and in the forest features appeared quickly. It was fascinating countryside combining intricate contour features created by diggings and erosion control with fields of boulders spread across the map. Long grass made some hillsides particularly difficult to negotiate.
Results: 5km Course: Alex Davey (Wagga) 43:40; Deb Davey (W) 49:50; Rob Simmons (Albury) 53:16; Rob Matthews (A) 53:47; John Oliver (W) 55:17; Norm McCann (A) 77:18; Eloise Matthews (A) 78:18; Wayne Bajenoff (A) 82:55; Alastair Buchan (A) 89:42. 4km Course: Rick Armstrong (A) 51:53; Wes Campbell (W) 61:03; Janet Buchan 81:49. 3km Course: Kath Oliver (W) 56:25; Paul & Oliver Hembrow (A) 64:58; Cave Family (A) 72:08
The second of the four event series will be conducted in the Wagga area in June. Next local event will be on Sunday 22 April at the Victory Memorial Gardens commencing at 10am.
