Results for this evening's Maurice Dean memorial sprint event are on-line here. RouteGadget is here and league scores with one event still to go are here.

Summer Sprint 4 Worden Park, Leyland

Details for the next event in the sprint series are available here. This is the Maurice Dean Memorial Event, in memory of one of our founding members who had long associations with the park, and passed away last year.

Summer Sprint 3 in Chorley

Astley Park and the incredibly complex Astley Village played host to the latest sprint event this evening. There must be a few fair weather orienteers out there because the damp conditions saw a much reduced turn out. A shame because anyone who wasn't there missed a treat. Unfortunately we had a control interfered with so the results have the legs affected removed. See Astley Park results and league scores.

SROC juniors through to Yvette Baker final

Congratulations to our juniors who have secured an invitation to the final of the Yvette Baker Trophy after their performance in the recent North West qualifier at Aitken Wood. The final of this, the national club championships for juniors (named after one of our most successful international orienteers), will take place at Sandringham on 7th July.

Summer Sprint event 2, Salt Ayre

Another successful sprint event with very good use of this complex area. Results are on-line here, RouteGadget for the Prologue and the Final and latest league scores are also available.

Summer Sprints scores

Scoring for this year's series will follow the method used for several years now. Points will be awarded for performance at each event with 1st place being worth 60 pts, 2nd 55 pts then 51, 48, 46, 45, 44 down to 1 point. Positions will be judged by your best three scores from all five events. Planners/organisers receive a "bonus" (counts as one of their best 3) equal to the average of their best two scores, to make up for having to miss one event and as a reward for all their hard work! There will once again be seven categories: Men's and Women's Open, Junior Men and Women (14-), Vet Men and Women (55+) and groups/pairs.Scores after the first event are here. Don't miss the next event at Salt Ayre/Scale Hall on 21st May. Paul is planning an additional Final course for younger juniors, to avoid the faster road crossings. Lost property: a red fleece top left behind at Williamson Park. Contact Chris Roberts if it's yours.

Major event successes

In all the kerfuffle over the JK 2019 results we missed applauding three SROC champions. Miriam Rosen W70L, Heather Roome W35L and David Roome M35L. Full results are linked from the JK results page. (Note: not a secure website). In the more recent British Orienteering Championships the Roomes were again victorious, with Heather and David becoming British Champions in W35 and M35. Dick Collins was placed second in M75S and rising star Ellie Todhunter was third in W10A. On relay day our Men's Short team of Iain Embrey, Heather Roome and David Roome were first and in the M60 class Martyn Roome, Paul Ferguson and Andy Quickfall came home second. Congratulations to all SROC competitors in these events. BOC results are here.
