We are delighted to announce entries are now open for the long-awaited and much delayed Port Macquarie State League weekend!
These are the first major events for our newest club, Hastings Orienteering Group.
If you entered last year before the COVID postponement, please check that your age class in Eventor is correct for 2022.
There will be a Sprint on Saturday afternoon at Mackillop College, and a Middle Distance on Sunday morning in Broken Bago State Forest.
ONSW says a big thank you to our Newcastle club for all the mentoring work they have done to prepare the HOGs for this great occasion.
We'll also be having a junior squad camp leading into the SL weekend - stay tuned for details.
Victorian MTBO Champs last weekend
- Last Updated: Wednesday, 18 May 2022 10:48
Andrew Power (Newcastle) won all three races at a muddy Victorian MTBO Champs at the weekend.
Andrew's domination of M60 in Ballarat shows how much he relishes competition after skipping the Australian champs because he was overall controller.
And the mud would have been little concern after the events at Cessnock in March!
Special mention to Uringa's Ori Gudes who finished third in M40 in the Middle despite his map board snapping off the handlebars mid-race.
The only other ONSW winner in Victoria was Hamish Mackie (Big Foot) who took out the Middle and Sprint on Saturday in M50.
Minor placegetters were:
* Ori Gudes (UR, M40) 3rd in all 3 events
* Hamish Mackie (BF, M50) 2nd in the Long
The next MTBO event in NSW is on July 3 in conjunction with the Turkey Trot at Castle Hill.
