History of the Victoria Nuggets

Victoria Nuggets dominate 2007 National Orienteering League

2007 Victoria Nuggets Report

Final 2007 standings in the Senior and Junior divisions are now available.

 

The Victorian Nuggets have won three of the four divisions of the 2007 National Orienteering League.

 

This is Victoria's second ever National Orienteering League win, after taking out the overall champion team title for the first time in 2003.

 

Without any superstars, the Nuggets depth and consistency over the 15 rounds proved too good for other states to match.

 

The Nuggets won the Senior Men’s National League with 127 points from the NSW Stingers on 122,

the Senior Women’s with 129 points from the Southern Arrows on 108, and the Junior Men’s with 81 from the Tassie Foresters on 71.  The Queensland Cyclones won the Junior Women’s title with 81 points from the Victorian Nuggets 62.

 

Reigning champions, and twelve time winners, the Canberra Cockatoos, finished last in both senior divisions.
