SROC Achieve Fourth Place at CompassSport Cup Final!

SROC (Red Rose Orienteers) came an amazing 4th place in the CompassSport Cup Final large club category which took place on Sunday! This was a real team effort with lots of people contributing to this outstanding result, which was needed as we did not even have a full strength team due to a clash with the Lakes Mountain Trial. The event took place on the intricate sand dunes of South Gare beach at Redcar. Very well done to all the team! Thanks to CLOK for putting the event on and CompassSport Magazine and Compass Point O shop for sponsorship
