 The Garingal juggernaut descended on Cataract for the first inter-club MetroLeague event for 2010.
The results were a near clean sweep - 6 wins from the seven teams. Garingal results can be found here. Thanks to club captain Jamie Kennedy for organising the team. In Division A, Glenn Horrocks led the way, not only capturing the 10 points, but posting the best time on that course of any competitor. Ably backed up by Huon Wilson and John Havranek, with 8 & 7 points respectively, the Top Guns defeated Big Foot 33 - 19.
In Division B, Garingal (A) were pipped by Bennelong, 25 - 29, the closest result for any Garingal (GO) team. Kar-Soon Lim made his ML debut for GO and will probably be the better for the experience. Results were consistent, but after Bennelong captured the first three places, Garingal runners filling the fourth to eighth spots was just a little less than required. The GO(B) team were too strong for Southern Highlands, with Warwick Selby putting in the best GO time in the division (although not overall - the only division that didn't have a GO runner as the fastest competitor). I understand Warwick was one of several who backed up after Saturday's Minigaine, so extra credit for that effort. Michaele Dawson and Ken Jacobsen placed second and third.

 As a lead up to the bush events, Central Coast hosted the annual OShea 2 days over the weekend of 27/28 February 2010.
Garingal was well represented with Ross Barr, Daniel Hill, Matthew Hill, Barbara Hill, Tony Hill, Bryony Cox, Tim Cox, James Lithgow, Warwick Selby, Ross Duker, and David Bowerman all competing. The OShea 2 days involved an Saturday afternoon of orienteering in the bush near Morriset (south of Newcastle) followed by a night event around the streets of Bateau Bay and a combined event at The Entrance on Sunday morning. Garingal was successful in the "short pairs" section with the team of Daniel Hill and Tony Hill winning the competition by a small margin of around 1 minute over the 3 events. Warwick Selby and Ross Barr also picked up a famous tea cake award for the Sunday score event. If you would like some assistance in attending the next bush event, please email
