Kent Orienteering League 2025/26
The final KOL took place on Saturday 16th May at Shooters Hill. There was still a lot to play for in the league and this was everyone’s last chance to move up the rankings into medal positions. This was especially true on the blue men’s course which was being hotly contested by our own Antoine Pesenti and Donatis Tumaitis from CHIG. Antoine had to win and beat Donatis to take the trophy. It was going to be close.
We had some great results on the day with several achieving a top 3 position, namely Elaine Eyers 1st on Score, Joseph Embleton 2nd on Orange, Antoine 2nd on Blue and Ella Pyman 3rd on Green.
Second Junior Passport Completed
Joseph Embleton was the second junior to complete the junior passport after competing at Shorne Woods Country Park KOL on Saturday 21st March. He has now received all the awards on offer upon completion of 25 events. He had a good day all around as he also finished 3rd overall on the orange course. Well done Joseph!!
