Runners make national finals

Bassetlaw’s junior orienteers represented Notts successfully on saturday, competing in the Yvette Baker Trophy at Bradgate Park, Leicestershire.

Taking on tough opposition, including seeded county treams from Leicestershire and Warwickshire, their performance was good enough to qualify for the national final.

This will be held in July at Belton near Grantham, when the best 15 junior teams in Britain will all compete for the Yvette Baker Trophy, named after a former British World Orienteering Champion.
