Individual results for the SOL can be found here
The Scottish Inter-Clubs Championship table is taking shape following the Dark ‘n’ Dunes Weekend, which saw the first championship event of the season, the Scottish Nights Championship at Braid Hills, followed by the opening round of the Scotish Orienteering League at a windswept Gullane Dunes.
ESOC continues to lead the way in the Large Clubs division, and has now extended its lead to nearly 20,000 points. FVO and INT are locked in battle for second place, with INT moving ahead after the Night event, only for FVO to peg them back in daylight.
ELO tops RR in the Small Clubs division, with STAG in third place, but KFO has established itself in 4th position, remarkable in that they only have seven counters in play at present.
Club and individual league tables after six rounds can be found here
ESOC extended its lead at the head of the 2022 Scottish Inter-Club Championships to more than 13,000 points as they hosted the second Scottish Orienteering Urban League race of the year at Peebles.
The Edinburgh-based club is taking advantage of the early rounds of the championship being in their local area, and a large contingent of their members in regular action is racking up the points for their total. FVO remains in second place in the Large Clubs competition, and Interlopers has overtaken MAROC for third place.
In the Small Clubs division, ELO maintains its place at the top of the table, but it was a good weekend for Roxburgh Reivers as they closed ELO’s lead to within 4000 points, and STAG, who have overtaken TAY for third place.
There’s a new leader in the Junior Inter-Clubs Championship, as FVO has bypassed MAROC to take the lead, while ELO leads the Small Clubs competition
League standings after four events can be found here, with individual scores for all competitors now included.
The fifth and sixth rounds of the championships will take place this weekend, as ESOC plays host once again, with the Scottish Night Championships at Braid Hills, followed by the first round of the Scottish Orienteering League, with Interlopers hosting at Gullane.
The 2022 Scottish Inter-Clubs Championship sped into full action as the majority of the clubs got their first scores on the board, following the EUOC Big Weekend.
The Big Weekend featured two scoring events, with an Urban race around the West End of the city, and then a Classic distance race on the iconic Arthur’s Seat. The Urban race also counted as the first event in the 2022 Scottish Orienteering Urban League, and both events were included in the UK Orienteering League programme, so there were a large number of visitors from over the border in attendance.
There is a new leader in the Large Clubs division of the SICC, as ESOC took full advantage of the races being in their home city to notch more than 40,000 points for the weekend and catapault themselves straight into the lead, with a 5000 point margin over FVO.
It was a good weekend for ELO in particular in the Small Clubs division, as, led by some impressive junior performances, they opened up a fairly comfortable lead over Roxburgh Reivers to head the table after the first scoring event for the smaller clubs.
MAROC continues to lead the Junior Inter-Club table, but has been closed down by both FVO and ESOC, with several lowland events to follow soon, while ELO’s juniors top the table for the Small clubs.
Full results from the weekend are with Robin Strain, and league tables after three events are here.
The next event in the Inter-Clubs Championship will be ESOC’s SOUL races on 6th February, followed by a Dark ‘n’ Dunes Weekend, as ESOC and Interlopers host the Scottish Night Championships and the first event in the 2022 Scottish Orienteering League the following weekend.
The 2022 Scottish Inter-Club Championship kicked off on Sunday, with a regional event at Cambus o’May, Ballater, which was organised by MAROC.
This year’s SICC has a very different format to previous years, with results from the entire season, over a variety of formats, being tallied to produce the champion club, rather than from a single championship event.
Host club MAROC got their campaign off to an excellent start, with their competitors winning five of the seven classes, and they notched a most impressive 22409 points for the event. Neighbours GRAMP were also prominent, with Pete Lawrence’s win on the Green course garnering the most points of any athlete on the day.
Moravian, Interlopers and EUOC were also amongst the points, while the remaining clubs will take their chance to open their account at the EUOC Big Weekend in two weeks time.
Event results are on the MAROC website and championship standings after the first event are here.
The 2022 Scottish Inter-Club Championships kicks off this weekend with the first event, at Cambus o’May, Ballater, which will be hosted by MAROC.
The Inter-Club Championship takes on a vastly different look this year, with all five individual championship events (Long, Middle, Sprint, Night and Score) counting towards the total, as well as results from the Compass Point Scottish Orienteering League, the BTO Solicitors Scottish Urban Orienteering League, and regional events from around Scotland.
A briefing note has been prepared, giving more background on how the championships will operate, how scores are calculated and which clubs have been assigned to the “Large” and “Small” categories for 2022.
Good luck to all participants and all clubs – it promises to be an epic season of orienteering!
