Yvette Baker Shield heat at Knole Park
After coming 3rd in the Yvette Baker Shield competition last year, there were great expectations for DFOK's qualifying heat this year, and the DFOK Juniors more than rose to the challenge! They all had fantastic runs - and a lot of fun - some running up beyond their age classes or solo for the first time. The fantastic team effort secured them 1st place in the heat and a trip to Capite Wood for the final later in the year. If you are under 18 years old and would like to join DFOK's Junior Team, get in touch for more details.
