Uringa - Central Coast Triumphs in Metro League Round 4

 It is not often that all 3 Metro Teams defeat their rivals in a round of the Metro League but this week's efforts was an exception for sure with all 3 teams posting  wins.

How does Metro League work:

There are 6 divisions and clubs field teams in a number of divisions. For example Ur-CC filed teams in Division 2, 4 and 5. Each week within each division there are matches where clubs play against each other.

Each team is made up of 5 runners and after everyone has run the times of the two teams are compared and points are allocated 10 points for the fastest of the two teams right down to 1 point for the slowest of the two teams 

Results

Division 2 defeated SHOO-IK 30 - 24. When you looked at the results you could see the dominance. Ant Nolan was fastest home on the course scoring  a big 10 points for the team. Shane was not far behind notching a 7 pointer. Michael Warlters scored a 6  with Wayne and Kelvin chipping in with 4 and 3 points respectively. Serena also ran the Div 2 course and was 9th fastest home and Zoe 29th home. 

Division 4 was just a tad closes with  UR-CC defeating Bennelong 29-26. The BN team looked quite formidable and when Dave Dorling roared home with a 10 pointer things were looking grim. No need to worry as Nick Dent racked up 9 points, Ori Gudes was a point behind scoring 8 and Maggie, Jim and Hilary 5,4,3 respectively. A most satisfying win.

Division 5  had a big win 35 - 17 against their Big Foot Rivals. A feature of the teams victory were the Nolan boys, Johnny and Will. The boys scored 9 and 8 points respectively; mum , Jane, 5 points and Ron 7 points and Gayle 6 points. A great victory.....

Division 1 - UR-CC doesn't have  a team in this division so when not needed in Div 2, Ian McKenzie loves the challenge of the  Div 1 courses. Ian was the 16th fastest on the course. Fantastic effort Ian!

Easy Course, youngster Alon Gudes had a good run to finish 4th. Well done Alon!

 The map was printed at 1:4000 which meant you had to wrestle with an A3 piece of paper . As is usual in Sydney sandstone bushland it is difficult for the mapper equate what is on the ground to what the map shows. Do I map that small boulder or just the big ones.         

The next Metro League Event is on Sunday 1st August at St Ives
