Fight the Night 2025 – Event #4 Finale

Weds 26th Feb saw the grand final of this year’s Fight the Night series, with 29 runners taking to the streets of the city centre and enjoying the planning of LOG stalwart, Kev Rice. A trickier evening for the orienteers, with the area having the infamous hill and lots of dead running in the top section, making life more difficult for those wanting the big points!

On the finals night, last year’s series winner, Paul Murgatroyd (235 pts) managed to just hold off the challenge of the number one seed, Amanda Roberts (233pts), by the slenderest of margins and retain his title, with Marcus Lancastle (222 pts) in third claiming a well deserved podium place. Paul also took the ‘most controls in the series’ award, with 79 of the 80 possible claimed across the 4 races.

The handicap results can be viewed here, with the various final groups seen here.

Lincs Urban League – Report and Tables: Event 6

This week’s sixth and final race in the 2024 LUL was an entertaining affair at the University of Lincoln, with LOG Chairman, Craig Lucas, in the planner’s hot-seat. The unusual Prologue and Mass Start Chase added to the usual LUL fun and the Chase, in particular, saw great use of the complex courts area with some great head-to-head competition on display.

On the Long course, HALO’s George Van Dam, in a rare appearance in the LUL, took the honours, winning both the Prologue and the Chase courses. Liam Harrington had his best result of the series by coming home in second and RAF man, Richard Crabb, sealed the final podium spot. Hannah Mather was first woman back and, in doing so, secured the Women’s Long trophy. Paulius Malkevicius comfortably sealed the win on the Medium course, with Anna Kaisa-Koskela Brook taking second, and Pete Harris easing into third spot on the night. Jacqui Edwards held off the challenge of Amanda Mylett to seize the Women’s Medium crown by just two points. On the Short course, Mary Vickers continued her winning ways. Finally, HALO took their first away win of the series, but couldn’t do enough to turn over the 18 point LOG lead, and so LOG retain the inter-club trophy for another year. The Lincs Challenge Shield also saw LOG victorious by a comfortable margin on the night, with 1085pts to 834pts. The overall final table after all six rounds can be seen here.

Congratulations to this year’s roll call of individual winners:
Men’s Long – Paul Murgatroyd
Women’s Long – Hannah Mather
Men’s Medium – Paulius Malkevicius
Women’s Medium – Jacqui Edwards
Short – Mary Vickers
