The handicap tables (hCALF) have been calculated following the final of the WEE Series. They can be found under “Resources>OneDrive Public>[3] hCOW>hCOW2026>hCALF2026”. In the hCOW Series (based on consistency) Chris Colwell beat Mark Pruzina to the finishing post because an excellent final result allowed him to drop off a lot of points while Mark’s dnf left him on his previous score. In The Regatta Series (based on improvement) we had the first 3 separated by 0.6 points – how close was that! It’s also great to see that all 3, Julia Sinclair, Erin Jackson and Eamonn O’Reilly, are new members Read More …

The tables have been updated with the results of the penultimate WEE and, as predicted last week, have seen changes at the top. In hCOW (consistency) Nat Kerr has been overtaken by Mark Pruzina but there are plenty of folk lurking with either a good fourth score or a high-value discard at Stormont capable of making a difference. The same applies in Regatta (improvement) where Chloé Campbell has been overtaken but, again, there’s plenty of folk could make a difference next Wednesday. The Handicap Table is not there for points but to show the history of your handicap movement through Read More …

On Saturday 8 August, Lagan Valley Orienteers is hosting The Original Mourne Seven Sevens Challenge Walk and Race – our biggest fundraiser of the year. As you may know, the Seven Sevens is no ordinary challenge – it’s an 18-mile trek across all seven Mourne peaks over 700 metres, with over 2,500 metres of climbing. Alongside the walkers, we team up with BARF to host the 7x7s Mountain Race, a highlight of the NI mountain running calendar. It’s a fantastic day out with a buzzing atmosphere, and we’d love you to be part of it. But here’s the reality: we Read More …

With 2 events left, the standings in the hCALF tables are getting interesting. In the hCOW table (best scores for consistency) Nat Kerr is holding the lead, but with quite a few 3-event scorers having accumulated fewer place points there could be changes ahead. The Regatta table (best scores for improvement) is closely fought with Chloé Campbell in pole place to retain her title from last year. Well done Chloé – must be the Ormiston air!
