Kensington, 29 July: 
Garingal hosted the NSW Sprint Champs on a surprisingly warm winter's day at UNSW on Sunday - and came away with 5 wins, 10 seconds and 10 thirds.
Our State champions for 2018 are: Aniko Fozo-Kertesz (W35A), Jim Merchant (M70A dead heat), Duncan Currie (M20A), Lloyd Gledhill (M80A) and Robert Herkes (M21AS).
A big thanks to setter Jamie Kennedy, controller Carol Jacobson and organiser Graham Field who had to contend with last-minute Out-Of-Bounds additions on an ever-changing campus. Also, big thanks to the many helpers who ensured a smoothly run event and a quick pack-up.
Lapstone, 22 July: 
(Picture) It was "Pay Attention!" right from the startline at Darks Common. Matches were won or lost on the route choices to the 1st. control.
Garingal is guaranteed a MetrO League title this year after both Division 4 teams won at Lapstone to seal finals berths.
The unbeaten Monitors beat SHOO-IKO 30-25 while the Molochs, whose only loss was by a point to the Monitors in round 1, thrashed WHO 36-19. Robert Herkes (Molochs) is leading the individual point scorers in Divn 4.
All 7 other Garingal teams will be in classification matches at Boggabilla on August 26.
Galston, 6 May: 
GO junior Andra Leung had a breakthrough win by taking out the GeckO at Galston on Sunday.
Andra is in her first year of Hard courses and won the 3.9km event by a massive 12 minutes over WHO veteran Ian Miller, covering the course in 48:59.
Toby Wilson lost his crown as Goanna champ with a second placing behind Big Foot junior Ewan Shingler in the 6.5km main event.
Iida Lehtonen, whose family is visiting from Finland and have joined Garingal, was an impressive second in the 5.1km DraGOn race.
Thanks to Ian Jessup for another wacky format that has minds bending right from the start.
