Congratulations to Matthew and Barbara Hill who have been named ONSW Course Setters of the Year for 2017.

The mother-and-son combination delivered outstanding courses at our recent NSW Sprint Champs at PLC Pymble, beating a high-quality field of setters in a heavy year of events for ONSW.

Here is some of the praise for the courses...

"Loved the fact that there was route choice to almost every control, right from the start - to stairs or not to stairs?"

"The map was extraordinary, the courses so well thought out and all in aid of a wonderful charity. What more could you want? NSW should be proud of such excellence."

"Great, fun course in an extremely complex area which was hard to read even on 1:3000. I found it almost impossible to read the course ahead most of the times and soon into the race stopped reading descriptions as well... no time!"

"A few fast legs added an extra challenge of getting into oxygen debt (I did a series of mistakes right at the end). Plenty of solid route choices too."

The last major award to be announced for 2017 is the Interclub trophy, which has been retained by the Newcastle club based on its performances at State League events.
