The next round of the Club TrailO Champs will be held in association with the Autumn Trophy event at Whitespots next Saturday. It will take the form of a TempO cluster of 7 decisions (how’s that for value? And even better, entry is free!). The cluster will be adjacent to the car park so make sure to give yourself a couple of extra minutes before heading off to the FootO start. To be in contention for TrailO Champion you need to have taken on 2 of the 5 clusters – with two to go (Whitespots and Glenarriff) you can still Read More …

The standings can be viewed in the folder “LVOTOC2024” on the public OneDrive (“Resources>OneDrive Public”). The standings show Chris Colwell to be currently in the lead, but there are 14 Read More …

In the regularity standings (hCOW Table.pdf) Colin Smith has come out comfortably on top. Although Colin was not the quickest (see the handicap history in Handicap Table.pdf) he kept to his tempo around the Belfast parks. As to the improvers standings (Regatta Table.pdf) it was a close-run result between Olivia Baxter and Sharon Dickenson with a single point between them. Again, the handicap table reveals their improvement record. Now Read More …
