Thanks to a good turnout, DROC has raised $700 for the Orienteering Victoria Junior Team. Prizes will be awarded this Wednesday, October 29, at Tally Ho, before the event, to category winners on all courses.

Eighty competitors took on the challenge of our Enduro, including a strong contingent from Bendigo/Central Highlands. On the 20 km course, former Australian representative Troy de Haas (CH) was too strong for Bruce Arthur (MFR) and Blair Trewin (YV), winning by a comfortable 10 minutes. Bendigo's Matt Schepisi took out the 10 km course from DROC runners Martin Steer and Ian Dodd.

Bryan Ackerley (BK) and endurance events go hand in hand so it was no surpise to see him win the 3 hour Score, covering 32 kms and scoring 258 points, ahead of Greg Andrews (BK) and Andrew Hester (DR). It was great to see Carl Stemp (DR) back in action, winning the Walkers 3 hr category. Angus Collins (BK), aged 8, did a great job to complete the 3 hours, scoring 106 points.

A late return by Jun Okabe (BK) allowed DROC's Peter Dalwood to sneak ahead by 3 points in the 2 hr Score, with Ian Greenwood (DR) in third. Another junior, Jackson Sword (BK), was just behind in an excellent 5th place. Debbie Dodd (DR) headed the Walkers.

The 1 hr Score was won by Ron Frederick (NE), with David Payne (DR) in second place.

Many hours of work went into the map and course by Wally and Pam. Thanks also to the many helpers who made everything run very smoothly.
