Waggaroos have just about sewn up their annual interclub series with Alboury Wodonga.
With one round remaining on home soil Livingstone National Park in three weeks, Wagga lead 83-67.
Round 5 was conducted at 9 Mille Hill, just north of the Paper Mill near Albury. Although the area is small, the three hills, the profusion of rock and landform features and the fog made it physically and navigationally challenging.
Clubs score points based on the finish placings of an equal number of competitors on each course. This event was a little unusual for the interclub because it was a scatter course.
John Oliver and Alex Davey were fastest on the long course. The 26-22 win on the day was secured for WaggaRoos when Dale Clegg successfully completed the course and Albury’s Rob Simmons missed one control.
Yesterday Waggaroos switched backed to urban sprint O with two short courses around the Victory Memorial Gardens in the CBD.
Courses zig-zagged around the Wollundry Lagoon and the Civic Theatre precinct. Debbie Davey held off all challengers on the 2.1km course to win in 16.08, just ahead of Zach Lederhose and Briohny Seaman.
Don't forget our last State League weekend for 2014 is in Wagga on Sep 13-14.
