Waggaroos have easily retained the annual Interclub trophy after a narrow 16-13 last round win over Albury-Wodonga.
Held in a cold and wet Murraguldrie State Forest - venue for day two of this year's big June long weekend carnival - the courses regularly challenged participants in a number of respects.
The forest was open enough to attack the control on the direct line route which had to be considered against the option of running wide and avoiding some steeper slopes. Then as the control site was approached careful navigation was required to home in on the target feature.
Finally, the slippery conditions in some areas meant traversing the hillsides became difficult and times were slightly slower than usual. Wagga won the eight-event series 160-145.
We thank John Oliver for his regular reports from Wagga, and look forward to the 2019 Oceania championships being held in the area.
