On Sunday 4th July our junior team travelled to the National Arboreteum to compete in the final of the Yvette Baker Trophy. This was a fabulous venue with surprisingly tricky terrain and lots to do for all the family. Despite many of our older more experienced juniors being unavailable due to Covid isolation or competing at the Saunders, our young team (our oldest counter is only 12!) ran fantastically and managed to retain the trophy for the 4th year in a row! All the juniors who competed deserve our congratulations as every score helps but a particular well done to our 9 counters:

Ella Orange Girls 100
Anna Light Green Girls 100
Hannah Yellow Girls 100
Sophie Yellow Girls 99
Pasco Yellow Boys 99
Charlotte Orange Girls 99
Maxwell Orange Boys 99
Beth Orange Girls 98
Oskar Yellow Boys 95

Huge thanks to team captain Jacky for co-ordinating the team. Next year's final is at Irchester Country Park, near Wellingborough on Sunday 3rd July 2022 - save the date!

Well done to SYO's Cat Taylor who has been selected for the World Orienteering Champs team in the middle distance and forest relay disciplines. Well done also to Jonny Crickmore who has been selected as reserve for the sprint. WOC will hopefully take place early July in the Czech Republic

Congratulations also to our juniors. Euan Tryner has been selected for Junior World Orienteering Championships due to be held in Turkey in September and the European Youth Orienteering Championships scheduled for Lithania in August. Imogen Pieters has also been selected for EYOC.
