A weekend of wonderful orienteering... October 4th and 5th

We had a very busy weekend of orienteering this weekend!
Firstly we had the Northern Irish Championship held in
Co.Cavan!

Laoise Doyle came 2nd on W20
and Julien Beuken came 3rd on W20 (non competitive)

Conor Short finished in 3rd place, beating DUO
alumni member and brother Ruairi by just over a minute.

Conor sprints to victory over Roar!


Our president Ruth Lynam won the W21L course and DUO alumni
 Regina Kelly came 3rd.

Also well done to DUO alumni Andrew Cox who came 4th on the M40 course!

A great weekend had by all and well done to everyone who survived
 the gruelling training Saturday night and Sunday morning and
enjoyed the talk by Scott Fraser, world renowned orienteer.

Second we had some of our younger and newer  DUO members,
 Aisling McMahon, Conor Dolan, Tim Ryan coached by
 Rebecca Ní Chonchubhair orienteering in Marlay Park!
Well done to all of you!

Last but certainly not least we had our Captain Eoin McCullough
competing in the Junior European Cup in Belgium.
A huge honour and a huge congratulations to Eoin!
Well done to our UCDO friends Niamh Corbett and
Roisín Long who made up the rest of Eoin's team.
