SO Juniors take second place in national junior finals

Thirty one juniors competed for Sussex in the Yvette Baker Trophy final this afternoon and were narrowly beaten into second place by Bristol Orienteering Klubb. The performance matched SO’s best ever result which was now 15 years ago. Every junior successfully completed their course without a single mispunch. A fantastic team spirit was evident throughout the day. Results. Photos.

Junior Shoe Swap at Angmering

We’ll be running the popular junior squad free shoe swap at Angmering. If you have any orienteering shoes that you’ve grown out of (and don’t want anymore) then bring them along on Sunday to the junior squad table at Assembly. All juniors are welcome to look for a new pair of o shoes. You don’t even need to have a pair to swap :)
