Now that we have completed Round 6, runners can discard there worst score or catch up for a missed event. In the women’s competition, Katharine Bartram has strengthened her position at the top of the leader board. It looks like the Harleston (R5) event may be key here, as scores were generally higher and Emma Cross did not take part.

It was another win for Rini Hoogkamer in the men’s competition, but has he left it too late to make up for some indifferent scores in the earlier rounds? It still looks like a shoot out between Glen Richardson and Ian Renfrew, with Ian closing the gap to just 35 points.

Here are the results:

The next round is underway in Swaffham. The final event will be starting on 13th December at Lingwood and is being planned by Ben Bethell.

So, Harleston is over and we had another good turnout, despite lockdown and being a bit further out of Norwich than other events.

The women’s competition, as ever, is really close. This time it was the turn of Katharine Bartram to have a “stonking” run and retake the overall lead in the league. However, Emma Cross and Pat Bedder have run fewer events, so over the next few weeks may well catch up.

Yet another winner in the men’s competition. After some surprisingly low scores in the first few rounds, Rini Hoogkamer smashed it getting all 30 controls, but incurred 20 penalty points by being just outside the 60 minute time limit. Glen Richardson maintains his overall lead, but Ian Renfrew, who missed Wymondham, has the best chance in the chasing pack.

My dark horses for the overall winners are Pat Bedder and Rini Hoogkamer.

Here are the results:

The next round is underway in Taverham & Drayton. The event after this, starting on 29th November will be at Swaffham and is being planned by me (Jonathan Gilbert).

I’m belatedly adding the results from Round 4. As Round 5 has finished, I won’t add any comments other than to say well done to Emma Cross and Glen Richardson for their wins. Here are the results:

Another round of the Fun League has been completed. Carla Sutherland returned to winning ways in the women’s section, but it is still very close between Carla, Katharine and Emma. In the men’s league, it’s 3 events and 3 different winners, although Glen and Ian were 2nd and 3rd, so maintaining their domnance. Here are the results:

The scores for the Fun League are as follows:

The next round is underway in Wymondham. The next event, starting on 1st November will be at Harleston and is being planned by Kim Eden. Remember, that it is your best 5 scores to count, so some people can only afford to miss one more event. For those who have not run, you will need to run the last 5 events to get a full score.
