🏆🥇NIOA Champions🥇🏆

👍Thank you to all who travelled the length and breadth of the country (and beyond) to compete in the NI Score and Night Champs yesterday.

The two events were timed perfectly between storms Eunice and Franklin, and 100 runs were enjoyed/endured in relatively good conditions, a bit nippy and damp in the evening.

👏Thank you to all the volunteers who set up the events for us, especially Richard Vasey who had his hands full planning and setting out controls before and between the events, Organiser, Olivia Baxter and all who helped with the MOO and collecting controls.

NI Score Champs 2022

⌚The 60 min Score had controls spread around the forest park and the local housing estate which required careful planning and execution and made for varied routes being chosen with competitors running in all directions.

🏆Winners were: Johnathan McCloy MOpen, Billy Reed MSuperVet 55+, Moire O’Sullivan WVet 40+, Ric Gamble MVet 40+, Stephanie Pruzina WSuperVet 55+, Olivia Baxter WOpen, Billy Fyffe MUltraVet 65+, Helen Baxter WUltraVet 65+

⌚The 45 minute Score was contested by the Juniors so didn’t involve an excursion into the urban area.

🏆Top performers were: Peter Gamble, M16, James Ewart M12, Luke Gardiner M14, Euan Ewart M10 and Ruby Gardiner W12
